Difference Between NFS Soft And Hard Mount With Example
what is the difference betweeen NFS hard mount and softmount

Install with aptitude

nfs-kernel-server
nfs-common
portmap

on our system portmap is a virtual package. It is evaluated as rpcbind
If portmap does not install make sure

rpcbind

is installed
Do as root

dpkg-reconfigure rpcbind

This will stop end restart rpcbind
Create directory to test if it works

mkdir /home/user/testNFS

Set the permissions to 777. Do

chmod 777 /home/user/testNFS

Add to

/etc/exports

this line

/home/user/testNFS IPnumberoftheClientPC(sync,no_subtree_check) *(rw,no_root_sqash,async,no_subtree_check)

Example

/home/user/testNFS 192.168.111.111/24(sync,no_subtree_check) *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

Edit

/etc/hosts.deny

add

rpcbind mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : ALL

Edit

/etc/hosts.allow

add

rpcbind mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : list of IP addresses

Do

exportfs -a

Do

/etc/init.d/nfs-common restart

Restart the NFS server

/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Install with aptitude

nfs-common
portmap

on our system portmap is a virtual package. It is evaluated as rpcbind.
If portmap can not be installed make sure

rpcbind

is installed
As root create directory to test to mount the shared directory to

mkdir /mnt/testNFSClient

Change the ownership /mnt/testNFSClient

chown user:user 

Do as root

dpkg-reconfigure rpcbind

This will stop end restart rpcbind
Mount the exported map on the server Replace IP.of.nfs-server with the IP address of the server

mount IP.of.nfs-server:/home/user/testNFS /mnt/testNFSClient
mount -t nfs -o rw,hard,intr,proto=tcp,port=2049 IP.of.nfs-server:/home/user/testNFS /mnt/tesfNFSClient

Example

mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 192.168.111.112:/home/user/testNFS /mnt/testNFSClient

mount.nfs: Protocol not supported

Check if the path to the server or client directory exists

mount.nfs: Stale file handle

See: NFS Stale File Handle error and solution After this the following error still can occur

ls: cannot access /mnt/ClientDirectory: Stale file handle

To be solved

Edit

/etc/hosts.deny

add

rpcbind mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : ALL

or

rpcbind:ALL
portmap:ALL
lockd:ALL
mountd:ALL
rquotad:ALL
statd:ALL

Edit

/etc/hosts.allow

add

rpcbind mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : list of IP addresses

or

service: hostIP , anotherhostIP
portmap: hostIP , anotherhostIP
lockd: hostIP , anotherhostIP
mountd: hostIP , anotherhostIP
rquotad: hostIP , anotherhostIP
statd: hostIP , anotherhostIP

Start the services by rebooting
