root@client:~#
apt -y install nfs-common
root@client:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 6: uncomment and change to your domain name

Domain =

root@client:~#
mount -t nfs dlp.srv.world:/home /home

root@client:~#
df -hT

dlp.srv.world:/home         nfs4       26G  908M   24G   4% /home
# /home from NFS server is mounted
[2] Configure NFS mounting on fstab to mount it when the system boot.
root@client:~#
vi /etc/fstab
# add like follows

dlp.srv.world:/home   /home  nfs     defaults        0       0
[3] Configure auto-mounting. For example, set NFS directory on /mntdir.
root@client:~#
apt -y install autofs
root@client:~#
vi /etc/auto.master
# add follows to the end

/-    /etc/auto.mount
root@client:~#
vi /etc/auto.mount
# create new : [mount point] [option] [location]

/mntdir -fstype=nfs,rw  dlp.srv.world:/home
root@client:~#
mkdir /mntdir

root@client:~#
systemctl restart autofs
# move to the mount point to verify it works normally

root@client:~#
cd /mntdir

root@client:/mntdir#
ll
