Repro Steps

I try to use NFS, but it cannot work. I test the NFS by

sudo mount -t nfs -o nolock,vers=3 127.0.0.1:/root /mnt

and it tells me that

mount.nfs: Connection timed out

The code I used to open NFS is as follows:

Step1: Install the NFS Server

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

Step2: Editor the /etc/exports and add the following lines to it

 /root  *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)

Step3: Restart the NFS Server

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Expected Behavior

mount successfully

Actual Behavior

time out and unsuccessfully

Hello,

Are you certain that the server is running on 127.0.0.1 ? Based on the output it looks like there's just nothing running and so the connection times out.

Closing since this doesn't look like a WSL issue
