NFS client is not able to mount the NFS share and gets permission denied message even though the server shows authenticated mount requests.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • NFS clients are not able to mount the NFS share after a reboot. The same share is accessible on other systems. Even on these systems, fresh mount attempts are not possible. The NFS mount command on the NFS client results in a permission denied error:
mount: NFS-SERVER:/share failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
  • Logs in /var/log/messages on the NFS server show the following
Oct 30 11:22:05 nfsserver mountd[11412]: authenticated mount request from 192.168.0.1:859 for /clients (/clients)
