One of the clearest explanations I have seen in such a reasonable time-frame. I know the title says Ubuntu so this is just a small rant. The instructions also worked on Mint. CachyOS but not Fedora 38 and has driven me crazy. You could mount from the command line but fstab never worked. I gave up and just mounted with systemd
everything i did, but its getting connection time out error(mount.nfs: Connection timed out for 44.223.69.228:/exports/backups on /mnt/backups). and my ubuntu firewall(ufw) is in inactive state and in my aws i have given permission to Allow all traffic. Can you help me with this.
Why do we get incorrect size on client sever after mounting the partition on it , eg i have a 1tb partition but when i mount it on client machine it only shows me 70gb out of which only 10gb available, even though the partition is new with out any data in it
Now I'd like to understand, how the client gets permission to write into that folder. In my case, after following the video, no user on the client is able to write anything unfortunately.
each time I get: rpc.statd not running but is required for remote locking, either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd, Operation not permitted
Hi can your please make a video on explaining when and why are these files used in simple terms /etc/resolve.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/nsswitch.conf if and //etc/named.conf you can show a practical usage it will be great. Please its a request. Please do reply

This was great - especially the posted commands.
Glad it helped!
i followed these exact steps, why can my clients not write in that folder?
I missed this step:
On the NFS Server, do:
chown nobody:nogroup /exports/backups/
Thank you for crisp and clear explanation......
You are welcome

Thanks for this. Is there a way to secure the NFS share through credential authentication (username/password)?
Password protection is not an integrated feature of Network File System (NFS), which normally uses host-based authentication.
@@lazysysad ok thanks
Good
Thanks
Is it possible to enable file transfer compression in nfs to save bandwith?
I'm not aware if that is possible.
great voice ;-)
Thank you! 😃
Sir how to do NIS so that any user can login from different terminal
Now I'd like to understand, how the client gets permission to write into that folder. In my case, after following the video, no user on the client is able to write anything unfortunately.
I missed this step:
On the NFS Server, do:
chown nobody:nogroup /exports/backups/
NFS uses the user and group IDs (GID and UID) to establish permissions for write access.
each time I get: rpc.statd not running but is required for remote locking, either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd, Operation not permitted
are you getting errors starting statd? or are you just suggesting to run statd to use locking?
@@lazysysad I get these when I mount filesystem from client using exports/backups /mnt
Thanks sir very helpful
Most welcome
