VM

VM 3: Client/Container Practice Server

Scenario

Your organization has an NFS server at nfs.example.com with a shared directory /export/shared. You need to mount this share persistently on your client system at /mnt/nfs_share.

Objectives

1. Install NFS client packages if not already installed
2. Create the mount point /mnt/nfs_share
3. Manually mount the NFS share to verify connectivity
4. Find the UUID of the NFS server (or use server:/path format)
5. Add an entry to /etc/fstab for persistent mounting with appropriate NFS options
6. Test the fstab entry using mount -a
7. Verify the mount is working correctly

Requirements

• Use NFS version 4 if available
• Include appropriate performance and reliability options
• Use proper NFS filesystem type in fstab
• Verify the configuration
