Re: mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs'

When I try to mount an NFS filesystem, I get this error:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs'

Here's the mount command I'm using on host2:

mount host1.domain.com:/tmp /mnt

On host1.domain.com, I have this in /etc/exports:

/tmp host2.domain.com(ro,sync)

I tried using all IP addresses instead of names, but with the same results. The mount(8) man page says that it includes built-in NFS support.

I'm running Sarge. I'm somewhat new to Debian, but have been using Linux for many years, so if I need to provide more information, just let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Do a `grep nfs /proc/filesystems' and see what you get back. This will let you know if currently there is nfs support.

If nothing, try `modprobe nfs' and give it another shot. If that doesn't work, make sure that NFS client support was actually included with your kernel build.

Is your kernel custom, debian built, etc?
