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
How to mount a NFS share?
Answer:
Assume you have a NFS share /data/shares/music, at server: 192.168.1.5
You can mount the NFS share from another system at /mnt/music (create this directory first), with the command below
sudo mount 192.168.1.5:/data/shares/music /mnt/music
This is just an one-time mount.
If you want to mount permanently, you can edit the fstab
vi /etc/fstab
and input
192.168.1.5:/data/shares/music /mnt/music nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
Then run the command to see the effect immediately.
sudo mount /mnt/music
Also try to reboot your system to see if the share can be mounted automatically or not.
