1. You need to install nfs-command package as follows (open terminal and type the following command):
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install nfs-common
2. See The List Of All remote shares
$ showmount -e server-Ip-address $ showmount -e 10.25.1.132
Sample outputs from my 10.25.1.132 NFS server:
Export list for basil:
/volume1/Photo * /volume1/Video * /volume1/NetBackup 10.25.1.* /volume1/Music 10.25.1.*
3. Mount Shared Directory
Now mount /Music directory as follows:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt $ sudo mkdir /mnt/Basil $ sudo mkdir /mnt/Basil/Music $ sudo mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 10.25.1.132:/volume1/Music /mnt $ df -h
Output from df command
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root 24G 6.0G 16G 28% / none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 4.1G 4.0K 4.1G 1% /dev tmpfs 824M 800K 824M 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 4.1G 160K 4.1G 1% /run/shm none 100M 56K 100M 1% /run/user /dev/sda1 228M 30M 187M 14% /boot 10.25.1.132:/volume1/Music 7.2T 3.8T 3.4T 53% /mnt/Basil/Music
4. How Do I Mount NFS Automatically After Reboot?
Edit /etc/fstab, enter:
$ sudo vi /etc/fstab
Append the following line:
10.25.1.132:/volume1/Music /mnt/Basil/Music noauto,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
Save and close the file.
5. How Do I Remove Mounted NFS Directory (unmount NFS)?
Type the following command:
$ cd $ sudo umount /nfs $ df -h
