Fix : wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock error

If you are trying to mount the nfs directory on system and getting below error this tutorial will help you to fix this.

Error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on xx.xx.x.x:/mount/point,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try
dmesg | tail or so

In this article I will show how you can fix the above error. Install the below packages on your system.

Install nfs-common, nfs-utils and cifs-utils

On Ubuntu/Debian

Follow the below command to install nfs-common.

$ sudo apt install nfs-common

If you are trying to mount CIFS install the cifs-utils.

$ sudo apt install cifs-utils

On CentOS/RHEL

Follow the below command to install nfs-utils.

# yum install nfs-utils

You will get some output like below:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * openvz-kernel-rhel6: mirror.steadfast.net
 * openvz-utils: mirror.steadfast.net
