In reply to Vishal Sharma. Please make sure you have set correct permissions on exported nfs share and your user should have rights to write a file on mounted nfs share.

$ sudo vi /etc/exports
/mnt/nfs_shares/docs 192.168.2.103(rw,sync,no_all_squash,root_squash

Should be:

$ sudo vi /etc/exports
/mnt/nfs_share/docs 192.168.2.103(rw,sync,no_all_squash,root_squash

(/mnt/nfs_shares/docs should be /mnt/nfs_share/docs because /mnt/nfs_shares/docs doesn’t exist)

Hey Alexey,

For Windows systems, e.g Windows 10, you need to enable the NFS client feature in the Control Panel under ‘Add or Remove programs’ section. Thereafter, hit ‘Windows key + R’ and type in the path to the NFS share which is located on the CentOS 8 system and press ENTER. Let me know if that works for you.

Are there any prerequisites for Windows clients to get access /mnt/nfs_share/docs?

Thank you!
