Mounting NFS Share on ubuntu 16.04 Client
22 Apr 2017We will look at the process of mounting the network file storage on ubuntu16.04 system client
On the client server, we need to install a package called nfs-common, which provides NFS functionality without including unneeded server components. Again, we will refresh the local package index prior to installation to ensure that we have up-to-date information:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
Creating the Mount Points on the Client
In order to make the remote shares available on the client, we need to mount the host directory on an empty client directory.
mkdir -p /tmp/disk2
Mounting the nfs share
sudo mount nfs_host:/mount /nfs/home
we can run df -h
to verify that the mount is accessible
pi@server2:~$ df -h
