According to our experts, this error occurs, when the NFS mountd service fails to start or stops unexpectedly. We can easily fix the issue with these troubleshooting steps:

   This includes checking the syntax, the paths, etc.
4. If the above tips did not help, we have to check if there are any port conflicts with other services.
