How to configure client system for access NFS server in RHEL6 and RHEL7

Configuration OF Client system to access NFS server:

In my previous post i talk about Configuration of NFS server. and now I talk about how to configure client system to access NFS shared directory.

1. To Check the share folder, execute this command

                  #showmount -e <IP OF NFS SERVER>

2. Create a Mount Point, By creating a directory:

                  #mkdir <Directory For Mount Point>

3. Now edit /etc/fstab file:

                 #vim /etc/fstab

 and make entry for nfs shared directory and define:

<nfs server ip>:<shared directory>      mount point      nfs     defaults     0 0

save and exit.

4. Execute this command after the entry for permanent mounting:

                #mount <mont point directory>

5. Execute following command to check :

                     #df -h

6. Now, you can see the shared file or directory:

    open your mount point.

                      #cd <mount point>

                      #ls
