unable to mount NFS share

cn flag

I have 2 ubuntu 20.04 server and I can not mount an exported nfs dir.

NFS Server is up and running.

● nfs-server.service - NFS server and services

Process: 2375 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Here my exports file

/_www/mydir xx.xx.24.19(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,crossmnt,async)
/_www/mydir xxxx:1cc0::19(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,crossmnt,async)

..

showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/_www/mydir xxxx:1cc0::19,xx.xx.24.19

On the client I see the open NFS ports on my server

Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-09-02 14:58 CEST
Nmap scan report for aa (xx.xx.24.21)
Host is up (0.00018s latency).
Other addresses for www (not scanned): xxxx:xxxx::21

80/tcp   open  http
111/tcp  open  rpcbind
443/tcp  open  https
2049/tcp open  nfs
5666/tcp open  nrpe

But when I try to mount this share I get a timeout error

mount -t nfs xx.xx.24.21:/_www/mydir /mnt/mydir
mount.nfs: Connection timed out

Additionally I turned off firewall for my test. But that did not change anything.

All tests on both machines were run as root.

I dont have any idea what is wrong.

I think I found a solution. After I set IPv6 address to global I could mount the nfsshare. I have no idea how this is connected.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
