Unable to mount NFS or access in linux
Problem: Mountpoint /nfsdemo/nfs2 is mounted but not able to access its directories.
df -Ph
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
demooracle:/root_vrdm_1/nfsdemo 18G 4.3G 13G 26% /nfsdemo/nfs2
cd /nfsdemo/nfs2/testdir1/tdir2 -- Failed
Troubleshooting:
1. /proc/mounts does not have the mountpoint entry.
cat /proc/mounts -- It does not have the entry
2. /etc/fstab has the entry
3. Try to umount
umount /nfsdemo/nfs2 -- fails with timeout
4. Try to do force mount
mount -f /nfsdemo/nfs2 -- Completes but does not resolve the issue
5. Reboot the OS to clean the memory and it resolves the issue
