nfs ubuntu mount bash

I've spent hours debugging this and I'm working with a 'Permission Denied' behavior when trying to mount an NFS share from a remote server on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine... The NFS server is running on a CentOS 8 system, and I've ensured that the exports file on the server is properly configured. Here's the relevant part of the `/etc/exports` file on the server: ```bash /home/nfs_share *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) ``` I've also checked that the NFS service is running using `systemctl status nfs-server` and it shows as active. On my client machine, I've installed the necessary NFS utilities: ```bash sudo apt install nfs-common ``` When I run the following command to mount the NFS share: ```bash sudo mount -t nfs nfs-server:/home/nfs_share /mnt/nfs ``` I get the following behavior message: ``` mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting nfs-server:/home/nfs_share ``` I've confirmed that the NFS server is reachable from the client by pinging it, and I've also tried using the IP address directly instead of the hostname. Additionally, I verified that the firewall on the server allows NFS traffic: ```bash sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=nfs sudo firewall-cmd --reload ``` I attempted to resolve the scenario by checking the ownership and permissions of the `/home/nfs_share` directory on the server, which are set to: ```bash drwxr-xr-x 2 nfsuser nfsuser 4096 Oct 01 12:00 /home/nfs_share ``` Both the NFS user (`nfsuser`) and the client user have the same UID (1001), and I've tried restarting the NFS service after making changes. I also ran `showmount -e nfs-server` on the client, which shows the exported shares correctly. Despite all this, I'm still working with the same scenario. What could be going wrong here, and how can I troubleshoot this further? This is for a application running on Windows 11. Has anyone dealt with something similar? For reference, this is a production desktop app.
