We can verify is the NFS service is actually running by querying a specific port and program number.

View the mounts that have been exported
showmount -e <IP>
Export list for <IP>:
/export/data
/export
Now create a local directory that you will want to mount the exported share to
mkdir /tmp/directory
Mount the share
sudo mount -t nfs <IP>:/export /tmp/export
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants/rpc-statd.service → /lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service.
We can now see the files and folders mounted to the local directory we created
ls -la /tmp/export
total 12

drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 4096 Jul 19 14:47 ..
drwxrwxr-x 5 root 10000 4096 Jan 25 09:53 data
From here, if you get "permission denied" when browsing the file and folder. Simple create a user with the same UID. That user should then get full access to the directory
Unmounting NFS File Systems
The umount command detaches (unmounts) the mounted file system from the directory tree.
To detach a mounted NFS share, use the umount command followed by either the directory where it has been mounted or remote share:
