Package: mount
Version: 2.13-8
Severity: wishlist
When trying to mount NFS and /sbin/mount.nfs doesn't exist, the error
message is very unhelpful:
mount -t nfs 1.2.3.4:/foo /mnt
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 1.2.3.4:/foo,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I only figured it out by stracing what mount does. Maybe either NFS-specific
error handling, or just including a generic "and /sbin/mount.%s doesn't
exist" in the error message.
