Crashed NFS server

  • You can unmount a non-responsive NFS server by using the -l (lazy) option:
umount -l /mnt/data

Stale file handle error

  • If you get this error, and are unable to mount the share on the client, just restart the server. For instance on Debian:
sudo systemctl restart nfs-server

Adding a NFS share

  • Just edit /etc/exports:
/mnt/data  192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync)
  • This would grant access to all IPs in range 192.168.0.*. You may need to restart the server (/etc/init.d/nfs restart) for the share to be actually added.
