NFS not enabled error message displayed while 'homestead up'

[prabhuchelladurai]

ROSA R6:

I have installed homestead as per the instructions given in laravel 5.1 docs.

I tried 'homestead up' and the error resulted is given under:

prabhuchelladurai@linux ~ $ homestead up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
It appears your machine doesn't support NFS, or there is not an
adapter to enable NFS on this machine for Vagrant. Please verify
that `nfsd` is installed on your machine, and try again. If you're
on Windows, NFS isn't supported. If the problem persists, please
contact Vagrant support.
prabhuchelladurai@linux ~ $

I googled for a solution but in vain.

I tried with urpmi nfs-utils. It says that nfs-utils is already installed.

Any help is appreciated.
