Hello, I am trying to mount an unencrypted NFS share in my local network. I tried with an app called FishNetMount, but it just keeps on spinning, no error, no mount either. If I try a manual mount I get this (as root):

# mount -t nfs 192.169.0.3:/some/path somedir
mount: /home/nemo/somedir: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.

Any sort of mount.nfs* binary does not exist in /bin, /sbin or /usr/bin.

However, NFS seems to be supported:

# cat /proc/filesystems | grep nfs 
nodev   nfs
nodev   nfs4
nodev   functionfs
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS   
CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS=y
# ll /proc/net/rpc/nfs
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 21 19:07 /proc/net/rpc/nfs
# uname -nrvm
XperiaXA2-DualSIM 4.4.189 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 25 10:19:02 UTC 2019 aarch64

How can I mount NFS shares?

On a JP1 I get

# mount -t nfs  192.168.2.3:/some/path Jolla
mount: /root/Jolla: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need 
a /sbin/mount.<type>     helper program.

But with added option addr it works:

# mount -t nfs -o nolock,addr=192.168.2.3 192.168.2.3:/some/path Jolla

Hi, according to this, it's going to be released (soon).

Thanks. But as you can see in this answer, it's already enabled for XA2, and the output I provided supports that. It appears that only the mount.nfs helper program is missing...

I think they enabled kernel and modules support, and now are addings missing nfsutils package. Did you try with pkcon?
