Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue when trying to mount an Amazon EFS file system on my Linux instance. I’m using the following command:

sudo mount.efs fs-074399a39ce17f1d8 /efsdemo

However, I get this error message:

Mount attempt 1/3 failed due to timeout after 15 sec, wait 0 sec before next attempt.
Mount attempt 2/3 failed due to timeout after 15 sec, wait 0 sec before next attempt.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time.

Make sure you are using the proper EFS client. The standard NFS client probably doesn’t work
