To mount an external NFS share on a Linux Ubuntu system, you can use the mount command. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Install the NFS client package:
sudo apt install nfs-common

Create a mount point for the NFS share:
sudo mkdir /mnt/nfs
Mount the NFS share:
sudo mount -t nfs4 server:/exported/share /mnt/nfs
Replacing server with the IP address of the NFS server, exported/share and /mnt/nfs with the directory name on the NFS server and the mount point you created earlier.
You should end up with something like this:
sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.2.0:/NFS_share /mnt/nfs
The mount command mounts the NFS share temporarily. To make the mount persistent across reboots, add the mount point to the fstab file with an entry like below.
192.168.2.0:/NFS_share /mnt/nfs nfs4 defaults,vers=4.1 0 0
Unmounting the NFS share:
sudo umount /mnt/nfs
