XFS is a local file system not a network or distributed file system.  If
you want other machines to access the file systems on your server, you
need to export it with a network file system.  NFS is probably the best
option if you're serving NFS clients.  Samba is probably the best option
of you're serving Microsoft clients.  You can use Samba and NFS at the
same time.
