NFS help

[Michael Lodman]

I am getting the following error when attempting to mount a directory:

# mount -t nfs 192.168.25.41:/home /home
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
RPC: sendmsg returned error 22
nfs: RPC call returned error 22
nfs_get_root: getattr error = 22
nfs_read_super: get root inode failed
mount: Mounting 192.168.25.41:/home on /home failed: Invalid argument

The platform is a Broadcom based Mips, running there 2.4.17 distribution.

/proc/filesystems says:

nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev shm
nodev pipefs
cramfs
nodev nfs
jffs2

Help would be greatly appreciated. I tried google without luck.

Try upgrading your mount utility package to the latest and greatest.
Failing that, make sure that you both ends have agreed on the proper NFS
version. I believe there is a mount option to force this.

Is that the client or the server? Are nfsd and portmap running on the
server? What is in the server's /etc/exports, /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny? It says "mount version older than kernel", have you
tried to find a newer version of mount?
