About a month ago, I successfully create a Droplet and connect to my client server. After no use for a few days, it cannot connect to NFS server and even when I ping my NFS IP on my client server, there is nothing happened. I’m using VM ubuntu, so I have to mount to NFS every times annually. I tried restart the Droplet, re-exports the /etc/exports, but still the same. Does anyone happened the same problem?

Hi there,
This usually points to network or service issues. Can you confirm that the NFS server is running sudo systemctl status nfs-server? And also are ports 2049 and 111 are open in the Droplet’s firewall, check with ufw status or DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls depending on the one that you are using. And also, is the client IP is allowed in /etc/exports?
It is probably worth trying to restart the NFS service (sudo exportfs -ra && sudo systemctl restart nfs-server) and then try to verify network connectivity between the client and server using telnet for example.

Hello, @e042dee1fa0f48468a8bb0d0f6e528
You can also check if there are UFW rules, iptables rules or Cloud Firewall configuration that can prevent you from accessing the nfs server.
