mount: mount to NFS server ’10.xx.x.xx’ failed: timed out (retrying).

December 5, 2016 DbAppWeb Admin

Problem:

When I was trying to mount a partition shared through NFS on a Linux machine, I was getting the below error:

[root@testserver ~]# mount 10.xx.x.xx:/xyz/abc /test
mount: mount to NFS server '10.xx.x.xx' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server '10.xx.x.xx' failed: timed out (retrying).

Reason:

I was getting this error because, for compatibility purposes, UDP is the default transport protocol for NFS under Red Hat Enterprise Linux and I only had TCP allowed by the firewall.

Solution:

Mounting with the “-o tcp” option solved my problem.

[root@testserver ~]# mount -o tcp 10.xx.x.xx:/xyz/abc /test

[root@testserver ~]# df -h
10.xx.x.xx:/xyz/abc  29G   16G    12G   58%   /test
