The NFS server is blocking access to the client attempting to mount the NFS share, as shown by the error message “mount.nfs access denied by server while mounting synology”. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your NFS issues.

Fixing “mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting” issue

We must take the below steps in order to fix the error:

1. Verify that the NFS server is configured to provide access from the client trying to mount the share.

2. Make sure that the server-side permissions for the NFS share are set correctly.

3. Make sure that the client’s firewall permits outgoing connections to the NFS server if it is enabled.

4. Verify again that the client-side NFS mount command is using the right NFS share and arguments.

5. To fix any short-term problems, try restarting the NFS-related services on the client and server sides.

6. Verify that appropriate network communication exists between the client and server. Check all aspects of the network configuration, such as routing, subnet masks, and IP addresses.

It’s always better to review system logs on both the NFS server and the client for more detailed error messages. These logs can provide additional clues to help diagnose and resolve the access-denied issue.
