After configuring NFS Share when you finally try to mount the share on your system or on server you get following error:
root@auth [~]# mount 192.168.0.2:/home/nfsshare/ /home/dcport/nfs
mount: 192.168.0.2:/home/nfsshare/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
root@auth [~]#
For more information I would suggest you to check the Log file and if you find following in the logs:
refused mount request from 192.168.0.2 for /home/nfsshare/ (/home/dcport/nfs): unmatched host
refused mount request from 192.168.0.2 for /home/nfsshare/ (/home/dcport/nfs): unmatched host
refused mount request from 192.168.0.2 for /home/nfsshare/ (/home/dcport/nfs): unmatched host
The above error points that the exports file on your NFS Server won’t have proper entries to allow connections from your system or server. To fix this issue open and edit /etc/exports and make sure you have records like:
/home/nfsshare/ 192.168.1.0/24(ro,root_squash)
Now try to mount NFS Share on your system.
