Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!
I have seen that your original poster question has been made changes, if you have any questions, please post in comments, to mount an Azure File Storage using NFS on a Red Hat 8 VM. I suggest few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.
Verify NFS Support: Ensure that your Azure File Storage is configured to support NFS. Azure Files supports both SMB and NFS, but the configuration might differ.
Install NFS Utilities: Make sure the necessary NFS utilities are installed on your Red Hat 8 VM. You can install them using:
Check Network Configuration: Ensure that your VM has network access to the Azure File Storage. This might involve configuring virtual network (VNet) and firewall rules.
Mount Command: Use the correct mount command. For NFS, it might look something like this:
Permissions: Ensure that the directory where you are mounting the file share has the correct permissions:
Logs and Errors: Check the detailed logs for more information on the error. You can use the-vvvoption with the mount command to get verbose output:

The most common issue is Request originates from a client in an untrusted network/untrusted IP. Can you double check your configuration and make sure you are connecting over a supported network?
