  • Sorry, this is incorrect. Because of the export /export 192.168.1.0/24(fsid=0,rw,sync,no_subtree_check) I do not include the /export portion of the path on the client. But thanks for looking at my question. Commented Aug 26, 2017 at 2:24

    @MountainX Err... You do need to include the /export bit too. By your logic, you would not need server:/backup/system/pc1, just server: since you have /export/backup/system/pc1 192.168.1.8(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) on the server... Commented Aug 26, 2017 at 6:53

    Things are different with NFSv4. The client must request a path relative to a virtual root directory on the server. The exports entry with fsid=0 is the root directory. Confusing things even more is that showmount doesn't use NFSv4, so the paths it shows are correct only for NFSv[23] mounting. Commented Aug 26, 2017 at 7:31

    Just to clarify for future readers, Mark Plotnick is correct and this answer is wrong. Commented Aug 26, 2017 at 18:31

    @MarkPlotnick Could you perhaps write an answer to flesh that out a little bit? I'm getting this error. Trying to tell NFS to only use version 4 as well. Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 11:34
