If you are trying to mount the nfs directory on system and getting below error this tutorial will help you to fix this.
Error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on xx.xx.x.x:/mount/point,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try
dmesg | tail or so
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might

In this article I will show how you can fix the above error. Install the below packages on your system.
Install nfs-common, nfs-utils and cifs-utils
On Ubuntu/Debian
Follow the below command to install nfs-common.
$ sudo apt install nfs-common
If you are trying to mount CIFS install the cifs-utils.
$ sudo apt install cifs-utils
On CentOS/RHEL
Follow the below command to install nfs-utils.
# yum install nfs-utils
You will get some output like below:
