[Techtalk] Mounting an NFS share

[Anne Wainwright]

Hi,

I set up an NFS share 

/home/anotheranne (rw)

in /etc/exports on my Libranet laptop (debian). I updated everything to do with NFS

I try to mount this share from my Ubuntu box but get the following error

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on Pandora (the laptop)

...and other suggestions
which mention that for several filesystems (eg nfs, cifs) I might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper programme

since ubuntu runs the ext3 filesystem, and libranet runs the reiser filesystem, is this the source of my problem? 

Avahi Discovery on Ubuntu does not show the NFS share as I imagine it should.

Any advice welcome.  now time for tea and a slice of pannetoni cake as a treat.

Thanks
Anne
