I issue this (as root): mount -t nfs -o intr,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 <hostname>:/<path> /mnt And it always returns: Device not supported. Well there is no explicit NFS device, is there? Why is it saying this? I issue showmount -e <hostname> and it tells me that the volume is exported and ready to mount for anyone.
