# Photon NFS utils
To mount network file system in Photon
## Check a remote nfs server
```
showmount -e nfs-servername or ip
```
for example :
```
showmount -e discus-filer.eng.vmware.com
showmount -e 10.118.100.122
```
## Mount the nfs in Photon full
nfs-utils is installed by default in Photon full, just use it.
```
mount -t nfs nfs-ServernameOrIp:/exportfolder /mnt/folder
```
for example :
```
mount -t nfs discus-filer.eng.vmware.com:/export/filer /mnt/filer
mount -t nfs 10.118.100.122:/export /mnt/export
```
## Mount the nfs in Photon minimal
Nfs-utils is not installed in Photon minimal. So it should be installed by tdnf first.
