can you say how to remove this error:

Hi,

If your nfs client is linux-orc9 and the nfs server is 192.168.1.6 then what you have shown in the output makes little sense.

You need to install the nfs-server daemon onto the nfs server. Then create the exports file on the that server. Start the nfs server daemon, allow the port in the firewall and then attempt to connect from the client.

The output you present suggests you are trying to configure a server and client on the same machine.

Nfs setup is straightforward, an easy /etc/exports example is:

/home/user/share (rw)

This would give all nfs clients rw access to the directory /home/user/share.

Once the nfs server is started and the firewall is allowing nfs connections use the command :

showmount -e serverip

from the NFS CLIENT to list the exports from the server. If this command returns a list then you can attempt to mount the share on the CLIENT.
