nfs linux debian bash

I'm running a Debian 11 server that needs to access NFS shares from an external server, but I'm working with a 'Permission denied' behavior when trying to mount the shares. The NFS server is set up on a CentOS 7 machine, and I've ensured that the `/etc/exports` file on the NFS server has the correct configurations. Here’s what I have in my `/etc/exports`: ```bash /path/to/nfs/share *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) ``` After updating the exports file, I ran `exportfs -ra` on the NFS server to apply the changes. On the Debian client, I'm attempting to mount the share using: ```bash sudo mount -t nfs nfs_server_ip:/path/to/nfs/share /mnt/nfs ``` This command results in the following behavior: ``` mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting nfs_server_ip:/path/to/nfs/share ``` I've checked firewall settings on both the client and server, and they should allow NFS traffic. I also confirmed that both machines can ping each other successfully. Running the command `showmount -e nfs_server_ip` from the Debian client lists the correct exports, so the client can see the shared directories. Additionally, I've verified that the NFS service is running on the server with `systemctl status nfs-server`, and it's active. The client has the necessary `nfs-common` package installed. I've also tried specifying the NFS version with: ```bash sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4 nfs_server_ip:/path/to/nfs/share /mnt/nfs ``` but that didn’t resolve the scenario. Is there something I'm missing with respect to permissions or configurations that would lead to this behavior? Help would be appreciated!
