Hi Pierre, Sure. The exact response is:
rlemmon@parton ~$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.17:/Multimedia/Music/Classical /mnt/nas Password: mount: /mnt/nas: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program. rlemmon@parton ~$ I wondered, after looking in the manual, whether this is a setuid program issue and so part of the Guix System. So I tried to set this in the .scm file as a service. However i didn't set any values as i was not sure what to put ... Cheers Roy.
