mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs'

Answer:

If you attempt to mount a NFS share, using the mount command, e.g.

# sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/data/share /mnt/share

And it gives:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs'

You would need to install the nfs clients to solve it:

# sudo apt-get install nfs-common
