# Create a Public NFS File Storage
To create a Private NFS (Network File System) on the File Storage system, you can follow these steps:
## Create a File Storage
**Step 1:** Go to
**Step 2:** Select **File Storage** then select **Create a File storage.**
**Step 3:** At the File Storage initialization screen, you need to enter/select:
* **File Storage name:** the descriptive name of the storage file. The file name must be between 5 and 50 characters long and can include the characters a-z, AZ, 0-9, '-', '\_'
* **Description** : enter a description for the storage file.
* **File storage type:** select the type of drive you want to use. Currently we only provide **Standard HDD drive type.**
* **Protocol:** select NFS and the NFS version you want
* **Tag:** you can add tags to mark file storage as needed.
* **File Storage Max quota:** in the file storage initialization step, you need to set a maximum quota limit for that file storage. This quota means the limit of storage capacity that the file storage can use, helping to manage resources effectively. **The minimum quota you need to choose is 1 TB and the maximum quota we provide is 50 TB.** If you need to use more than 50 TB for a file storage, please contact us.
* **Network type** : select the network type you want. In this example, you can choose Public.
* **Permission:** configure IP-based access permissions
* **No one:** No IP is allowed to access.
* **All:** Allow all IPs to have RO (Read-Only) or RW (Read-Write) access.
* **Restricted:** Only allow specific IPs to access with RO or RW permissions.
**Step 5:** Select **Create File Storage.**

## Mount File Storage to the server
Steps to mount FileStorage to a server via **NFS protocol:**
**Step 1:** Update package list and install NFS client:
* **For Debian/Ubuntu:**
```bash
sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get install nfs-common
```
* **For Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS:**
```bash
sudo yum update && sudo yum install nfs-utils
```
**Step 2:** Create mount directory:
* For example command below I created directory /mnt/demo
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/demo
```
**Step 3:** Mount FileStorage volume:
* For example, the command below I mount FileStorage with name = demo\_test with mount directory = /mnt/demo
```bash
sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4.1,hard,timeo=600,retrans=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,resvport,async hcm04.efs.vngcloud.vn:/demo_test /mnt/demo/
```
**Step 4** : Check mount:
```bash
df -h
```
These steps will help you mount a FileStorage file share to your server.
