Hello,

We have NFS server setup on CentOS5.6 x64bit with nfs 3 version.

Now we have setup a another server CentOS6.4 x64 bit and going to mount nfs location (Which setup on CentOS5.6 x64bit). Now when i am mounting this location on CentOS6.4 x63 bit, below error is displaying.

[root@supportrepo ~]# mount -o vers=3 192.xx.xx.xxx:/storage  /nfs/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.xx.xx.xxx:/storage,
       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

I also tried other switches also but same issue is occuring

[root@supportrepo ~]# mount -t nfs4 192.16.17.130:/storage /nfs/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.16.17.130:/storage,
       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

2nd code contains full local ip, might want to remove too.

I use this line in my script:

sudo mount -t cifs -o _netdev,rw,credential="$conf" "//$nas_ip/$share" "$MOUNTPOINT"

Main diffrence i see are the options, which should be optional, and the leading // for the NAS.

In my case i had to install "cifs-utils" first, yum handles the arch selection.

Hope this helps.

On the NFS server, what is the output of:

#showmount -e
