NFS Mount question - What are the required options in /etc/fstb?

[Jay Ridgley]

Folks,

I have an interesting question: Why does one work and the other does NOT? The 
only difference (I know of) between the two systems is ursa was an upgrade from 
10.04.4LTS to 12.04.1LTS and kodiak is a fresh install. Both are up to date. Is 
kodiak missing a software package, if so which one?

WORKS -->

cdjsys at ursa:/$ cat /etc/fstab |grep nfs
#polar:/archive /archive nfs rw,noauto 0 0
koala:/nfs/cdjsys /big_archive	nfs	rw,noauto,nolock	0 0
cdjsys at ursa:/$ sudo mount /big_archive
[sudo] password for cdjsys:
cdjsys at ursa:/$ df |grep koala
koala:/nfs/cdjsys 973391744 13308704 960083040   2% /big_archive
cdjsys at ursa:/$ uname -a
Linux ursa 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:54:40 UTC 2012 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
cdjsys at ursa:/$

and

FAILS -->

cdjsys at kodiak:~$ cat /etc/fstab |grep nfs
# entry for nfs:cdjsys on koala
koala:/nfs/cdjsys /big_archive  nfs     rw,noauto,nolock	0 0
cdjsys at kodiak:~$ sudo mount /big_archive
[sudo] password for cdjsys:
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported
cdjsys at kodiak:~$ uname -a
Linux kodiak 3.2.0-30-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 17:14:09 UTC 2012 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
cdjsys at kodiak:~$


Thanks,
Jay
