Bug Description
Binary package hint: mount
Upgraded mount (2.12r-19ubuntu3 => 2.13~rc3-2ubuntu1)
Amd64 system
mounting Ubuntu Edgy NFS3 export
with mount version 2.12r-19ubuntu3 - mount works fine
with mount version 2.13~rc3-2ubuntu1 - mount fails with error
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on faust-linux:
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
nothing is written to syslog
ended up reverting back to mount 2.12r-19ubuntu3 and mount works with no error.

To post a comment you must log in.
util-linux 2.13 drops NFS support, which is now provided by nfs-utils (binary nfs-common). Sadly, nfs-utils was out-of-date in gutsy, this has been corrected. (nfs-common >= 1:1.1.0-14 is what you want.)
I'll look and see what can be done to make the error message more clear.
