Short for network file sharing, NFS is a common process for those with computers currently. NFS mounting is a process that enables the sharing of files between Unix and Linux machines. Doing this typically requires nothing out of pocket.

In order to mount a drive, if it is a network drive, you must have an NFS server installed and an NFS client on the machine you wish to mount the directory for. The NFS server will export the file system to the network, and the NFS client machine will mount it. To mount it on a client machine, create or use an empty directory. Then, using the 'mount' command, indicate the server name and directory on the server and the mount point of the client. For example: mount tarzan:/opt/testing/data /mnt Will mount a directory from the 'tarzan' server called /opt/testing/data under the /mnt directory of the client. So when a client looks at /mnt, they are really looking at /opt/testing/data on the server.
To mount a network directory in Ubuntu, you can use the mount command with the appropriate filesystem type. For example, to mount an NFS share, use the command sudo mount -t nfs server_ip:/remote_directory /local_mount_point. For SMB shares, you can use sudo mount -t cifs //server_ip/share /local_mount_point -o username=user,password=pass. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and have installed required packages like nfs-common or cifs-utils if needed.
Before you set up an NFS mount you must first ensure you have downloaded the correct software needed. The Digital Ocean website provides all the relevant information and download link.
There is no specific directory on which you have to access NFS shares. You can mount a specific NFS share as root, or a subdirectory therein, such as /home.
A mount point is a directory used to access a resource, such as an NFS share or block device. For instance, if I have a USB Flash drive, I can mount it and specify a mount point of /mnt/myflashdrive.

An NFS server is a daemon that allows other computers to mount filesystems on your computer. This is useful in many circumstances, such as running a diskless workstation, or setting up a unified login system across a network.
It depends on what you are checking. You can use the 'df' command to see what is currently mounted via NFS and the 'mount' command (or check /etc/fstab) for mountable file systems.
