Why do I get "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock" error?
The error message mentions:
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
This is relevant given that you are trying to mount NFS. The /sbin/mount.nfs
helper program is provided by nfs-common
. You can install it with:
sudo apt install nfs-common
On the other hand, if you are trying to mount CIFS, the helper program is provided by cifs-utils
. You can install it with:
sudo apt install cifs-utils
Make sure mount.cifs
is listed into /sbin
:
ls -l /sbin/mount.cifs
Check to see if package cifs-utils
is installed:
dpkg -l cifs-utils
If it isn't, install the cifs libraries with
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
It appears that nfs-common
package should be installed in order to be able to mount NFS directories.
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
When it's not, the mounting of an NFS directory results in the error I've got.
