Create a NFS File Storage

To create a NFS (Network File System) on the File Storage system, you can follow these steps:

Create a File Storage

Step 1: Go to https://efs.console.vngcloud.vn/overview

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. If you choose Private . Now, you need to select the VPC , Subnet that you have created from vServer Portal.

• 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:

sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get install nfs-common

• For Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS:

sudo yum update && sudo yum install nfs-utils

Step 2: Create mount directory:

• For example command below I created directory /mnt/demo

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

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/demos/

Step 4 : Check mount:

df -h

These steps will help you mount a FileStorage file share to your server.
