List, good morning,

I started and continuing with a separate thread about a boot problem but have a specific query about the rescue shell and NFS, which I thought worth having as a separate short topic.

It's a wheezy system, running under the rescue shell provided by the install DVD. I wanted to copy some config files from the wheezy machine onto an archive area on an nfs system. If I try to mount an nfs export from another machine, onto a mount point in the filesystem seen by the 'rescue shell' from the install DVD, the mount command fails, reporting

# mount 192.168.0.200:/srv /mnt/nfs/srv
mount.nfs no such device

Some notes:

There is an entry in fstab for this mount, so there was no need to provide all the parameters.

192.168.0.200:/srv is being exported, and is seen by other machines.

/mnt/nfs/srv exists in the rescue shell filesystem, and can be 'cd''d to.

Does the error message mean that there is no nfs client available in the rescue shell?

Is there any way round this? There is an nfs client, somewhere in the filesystem that the rescue shell can see, for example, if there was a method to invoke it.

regards, Ron
