Error Message "wrong fs type, bad option" Is Displayed During File System Mounting

Symptom

The message "wrong fs type, bad option" is displayed when you run the mount command to mount a file system to an ECS running Linux.

Possible Causes

An NFS client is not installed on the Linux ECS. That is, the nfs-utils software package is not installed before you execute the mount command.

Fault Diagnosis

Install the required nfs-utils software package.

Solution

  1. Log in to the ECS and check whether the nfs-utils package is installed. Run the following command. If no command output is displayed, the package is not installed.

    rpm -qa|grep nfs

    mount -t nfs -o vers=3,timeo=600,noresvport,nolock Mount point Local path
    
  4. Run the following command to view the mounted file system:

    mount -l
