Ok.I  checked this part.
sudo mount -t nfs /media/vol2/ /mnt/nfs/
[sudo] password for tapas:
mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format

It is mentioned here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto

Yes that exists.
The partition on USB disk is having these permissions which when I
tried to change did not let me change the permissions (even as root on
nfs-server)

ls -l /media/
total 26
drwxrwxrwx 2 tapas tapas  2048 2010-02-12 04:12 HPLAUNCHER
drwx------ 7 tapas tapas  4096 1970-01-01 05:30 vol1
drwx------ 1 tapas tapas 20480 2011-01-03 17:43 vol2

There was no error when I did
chmod -R 755 /media/vol2

but after waiting for a long time the cursor was still blinking and I
did not saw any changes in permission.To this I had to force Ctrl+C.
