Hi

I change to src: ‘192.168.1.146:/share’

Then change authority 600

It’s show msg": “Error mounting nfs: mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified\n”

Hi,

Message is somewhat explicit, please look a little bit by yourself before posting, your mount options are not good :

[https://askubuntu.com/questions/786928/ubuntu-16-04-fstab-fails-with-nobootwait](https://askubuntu.com/questions/786928/ubuntu-16-04-fstab-fails-with-nobootwait)

Seems nobootwait isn’t exist anymore, remove it or replace it with nofail

Regards,
