How to mount NFS file systems on Rhel6 ?

mount -t nfs <IP Address>:/<Share Directory>    /mnt/

What all this means:

-t : Is used to tell the system that this is just an ordinary mount command. You use this when you do not have the drive information located in /etc/fstab

nfs : Tells the type of share you are trying to mount.

<IP Address>:/ : IP address of the drive you are trying to mount.

<share directory> : The Share within the Volume of the hard drive that you want to mount.

/mnt  : The location to which you want your share to be mounted.

Temporary Mount

example:

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.108:/data     /mnt/data

permanent Mount 

Open /etc/fstab

vim /etc/fstab
Ipaddress:/sharename   mount_point filesystem type defaults 0 0

example:

192.168.1.108:/data     /mnt      nfs  defaults 0 0

save and exit
wq:

mount -a

Troubleshooting NFS

showmount -e <IPaddress>

showmount  -e 192.168.1.108

The -e stands for "exports" or a list of shares exported by NFS.
