Mount a remote nfs share

Mounting using hostname instead of IP address can solve some of errors reported in this page

mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 REMOTE_IP_SERVER:/REMOTE_SHARE_DIR /YOUR/LOCAL_DIR/

mount -t nfs4 10.10.10.2:/ ./
mount: /mnt: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program
(Install client:  apt-get install nfs-common)

mount.nfs4: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

Solution: Try to mount it using hostname instead of IP

mount.nfs: portmap query retrying: RPC: Program not registered

mount -v -t nfs4 10.10.10.2:/ ./
mount.nfs4: timeout set for Wed Apr 22 09:55:59 2020
mount.nfs4: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=0.10.10.22:,clientaddr=10.10.10.2:'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): No route to host

mount -v -t nfs -o vers=3,timeo=600,noresvport,nolock  10.10.10.2:/ /local/path
