After setting up the server side, you need to take care of the client side.
And on the client side, well, there are three things that you want to do if you do not want
to use AutoFS.
First, you need to install NFSUtils.
Then you need to use showmount-e to show exports that are available on the server.
Once you found them, you mount them, and to mount them, you use server name, colon, path
name.
So use mount-nfs-server, colon, slash, nfs-data, slash, mnt, for instance, to mount it and
test if it works.
Let me show you.
So to start with, I need dnf install NFSUtils.
And then I can use showmount-e-nfs-server.
And as you can see, that shows the shares that I just configured.
Always use showmount, even if you are going to use AutoFS, as described in the next videos,
because if showmount isn't showing you anything, well, it's never going to work.
So make sure that showmount is showing you a result like this.
And then if you want to make sure, you can do a quick test, like mount-nfs-server, colon,
slash, nfs-data, slash, mnt.
And next, verify by typing mount.
Nice thing about the mount output, the mount that you added last is always last in the
list.
So in the highlighted line, we can see that the NFS share has been mounted.
The type is NFS version 4.
There's a whole lot of options, and this proves that it works.
And that's all that we need for now.
