Question on setting up NFS

["Pete Kay" <petedao@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to map the directory /var/fs at remote server ( 192.168.1.101) to local directory /mnt/nfs/fs

It is giving me the following error.  How come?  I am following the procedure at http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/nfs.htm


ser:# mount 192.168.1.101:/var/fs /mnt/nfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.101:/var/fs,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so




In NFS server, I have /etc/exports:

/var/fs 192.168.1.104(rw,sync)


When running exportfs, I am getting

debian:/home/anne# exportfs -a
exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' speci$
  Assuming default behaviour ('subtree_check').
  NOTE: this default will change with nfs-utils version 1.1.0
debian:/home/anne#


Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Pete
