Mounting a remote NFS volume
If your server has access to a remote volume exported using NFS, Webmin can assist you with mounting the volume as part of your filesystem.
Getting ready
NFS client support may come installed by default on your system or have been installed together with NFS server software. Verify that the package named nfs-utils or nfs-common (depending on your system) is installed, or install it if needed. Refer to the Inspecting installed software packages and Installing software packages recipes in Chapter 1, Setting Up Your System, for more information.
