I have seen many posts and articles on this issue. The problem seems to be centered around the nfs version being used and I have placed the following 2 lines in /etc/fstab: kata:/ /mnt/kata nfs defaults,noauto,nfsver=2 0 0 kata:/home /mnt/kata/home nfs defaults,noauto,nfsver=2 0 0 kata is the netbook server which I am trying to mount on the client called arriba which runs on Kubuntu 8.04 LSB. Most of the posts I have read say to add 'nfsver-2' to the fstab lines. However on both client and server, cat /proc/filesystems |grep nfs shows only: nodev nfs nodev nfs4 and nodev nfsd. It seems that this problem appears when people upgrade to (K)ubuntu 9.10 from an earlier version. In my case, this is a new netbook and I loaded the most recent version Kubuntu 9.10. Efforts to load Kubuntu 8.04 LTS which I use on my other machines failed - possibly because of the limited facilities on this small HP 110 Netbook. This result happens on both server kata and client arriba. I don't know that the 'nodev' means. I would like to add either nfs2 or nfs3 but have no idea how to specify this in apt-get or aptitude. I'd also like to add that I have used Linux desktops and nfs for years (mostly on the command line) and believe it's setup correctly. Please I am requesting troubleshooting advice. It's getting really old to have to use a thumb drive to transfer files.
