Re: Question on setting up NFS

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

Hi,

Here is the result for the two commands:

ser:# dmesg |tail
EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.7.0-ioctl (2006-06-24) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com
NET: Registered protocol family 10
lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB]
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
ppdev: user-space parallel port driver

ser:# apt-get install nfs-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
nfs-common is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

I think the nfs-common is already installed...

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.

Hey,
  Does dmesg|tail have anything relevant?
  Do you have the nfs-common package installed?

cheers,
Owen.
