Step 1 – To mount an NFS share on a Linux system first you’ll need to install the NFS utils package.

yum install nfs-utils

Step 2 – Create local directory as a mount point for mounting the remote NFS file system

mkdir /repolist

Step 3 – Manually mount the NFS Share with mount command

Syntax for the command:

mount -t nfs -o options host:/remote/export /local/directory

• options is a comma-delimited list of mount options.
• host is the host name, IP address, or fully qualified domain name of the NFS server exporting the file system to be mounted.
• /remote/export is the file system or directory being exported from the server, i.e, directory to be mounted.
• /local/directory is the client location where /remote/export is mounted.

Step 4 – To verify that NFS share has been mounted by running the mount command and filter nfs mounts.

Step 5 – Update file system table (/etc/fstab)

To persist the changes across system reboots, Configure NFS mounting on /etc/fstab.

vi /etc/fstab

The NFS share will be auto mount on next reboot 🙂
