Problem

In previous versions of KATA it was possible to mount an NFS share to copy backups to. In KATA 5.x only CIFS share mounts are available out-of the box.

Error

root@1.srv.node1.node.dyn.kata:/home/admin# mount -t nfs 10.225.62.41:/mnt/NFS/KXDR /mnt/nfs mount: /mnt/nfs: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.

Solution

Install packages manually via dpkg in the following order to add NFS support:

dpkg -i /home/admin/libtirpc-common_1.2.5-1_all.deb dpkg -i /home/admin/libtirpc3_1.2.5-1_amd64.deb dpkg -i /home/admin/keyutils_1.6-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb dpkg -i /home/admin/libnfsidmap2_0.25-5.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb dpkg -i /home/admin/rpcbind_1.2.5-8_amd64.deb dpkg -i /home/admin/nfs-common_1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.5_amd64.deb
