To install NFS, update and install nfs-common using the following commands: - sudo apt update - sudo apt install nfs-common After installation, create a mount folder using the command: - sudo mkdir /mnt/nfs_share Test if the mount is successful using the command: - sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.208:/mnt/mnt2/media /mnt/nfs_share To ensure the mount persists after reboot, edit the /etc/fstab file and add the following line: - 192.168.2.208:/mnt/mnt2/media /mnt/nfs_share nfs defaults 0 0 However, mounting may encounter an error within WSL due to the nfs-server. To resolve this, add "insecure" to the /etc/exports file under the file directory, as shown below: - "/mnt/mnt2/media" *(sec=sys,rw,insecure,no_subtree_check) Finally, use the mount command again to mount the NFS: - sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.208:/mnt/mnt2/media /mnt/nfs_share This information was originally published on Mix Space and can be found at the provided link.

Installation [[nfs]]

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nfs-common

Next, you can directly mount it

# Create mount folder
sudo mkdir /mnt/nfs_share

# Test if it can be mounted
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.208:/mnt/mnt2/media /mnt/nfs_share

It can also be mounted after restarting

vim /etc/fstab

192.168.2.208:/mnt/mnt2/media /mnt/nfs_share nfs defaults 0 0

However, within [[wsl]], mounting will fail due to the nfs-server issue

protocol not supported

I found a related issue
Can't mount NFS from within WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04 · Issue #9790 · microsoft/WSL · GitHub
Mounting directly on a regular server works, and I confirmed that it is a server problem. I am using Truenas

Check the nfs service configuration

vim /etc/exports

Add insecure to the file directory

"/mnt/mnt2/media"\
	*(sec=sys,rw,insecure,no_subtree_check)

Now continue to use mount

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.208:/mnt/mnt2/media /mnt/nfs_share
