Hi guys, just installed Ubuntu server and want to get sabnzbd (now working) and couch potato etc. When trying to mount my nas to any mount point I get the following:

Code:
chris@ubuntu:/$ sudo mount -a
[sudo] password for chris: 
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.5:/volume1/video,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

chris@ubuntu:/$

Contents of /etc/fstab:

chris@ubuntu:/$ more /etc/fstab

Last week I had the above mounted successfully onto a Ubuntu client, this is on a Ubuntu server so I know that the NFS is set up right.

Any ideas please?

I think I've solved this, showmount -e wouldn't work and asked me to install nfs-common

Now working. :)
