I am following the basic nfs server tutorial here, however when I am trying to create the test busybox replication controler I get an error indicating that the mount has failed.

Can someone point out what am I doing wrong ?

MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "kubernetes.io/nfs/4e247b33-a82d-11e6-bd41-42010a840113-nfs" (spec.Name: "nfs") pod "4e247b33-a82d-11e6-bd41-42010a840113" (UID: "4e247b33-a82d-11e6-bd41-42010a840113") with: mount failed: exit status 32 Mounting arguments: 10.63.243.192:/exports /var/lib/kubelet/pods/4e247b33-a82d-11e6-bd41-42010a840113/volumes/kubernetes.io~nfs/nfs nfs [] Output: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 10.63.243.192:/exports, 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

I have tried using a ubuntu vm as well just to see if I can manage to mitigate a possible missble /sbin/mount.nfs dependency by running apt-get install nfs-common, but that too fails with the same error.
