Fedora 14 mout NFS to REHL server

[grimm08]

I have been trying to mount an NFS share from my REHL server for over an hour, and Google was not able to help me. So maybe someone here can, when I use the command:

mount -t nfs server3:/programs /programs

I get the folowing error :

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on server3:/programs,
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

Thanks for the help.

Linux NFS Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on fs2:/data3 Error And Solution

You most likely do not have the NFS client libraries installed. Adjust above commands for Fedora (yum instead of apt-get) and install nfs-common.

Use the showmount command to list shares and verify the client can talk to the server.

Ok, I did try to install the nfs-common utility with:

yum install nfs-common

I get the no package avilable, so I know I need to modfy the repositories fedora uses. What repoes would I need use to get nfs-common?

Thanks.

I was able to get the shares to mount. For anyone who ends up stumbling on this post. I installed the nfs-utiles for fedora.

you could also try

yum list | grep nfs

to find the necessary package...
