Re: Question on setting up NFS

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

Hi,  

If I execute the command, I still get error:

ser:# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.101:/var/fs /mnt/nfs/fs
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


I can't figure out where.

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Regards,
Pete

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Hey,
  Does it still give the error if you explicitly give the type?:
ser:# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.101:/var/fs /mnt/nfs

cheers,
Owen.
