mounting a NFS share point in a VPS

[marco114]

I am building a server where several of the virtual servers should access the same data on another one of the virtual servers (on the same physical hardware). I have tried to setup an NFS share, but I get an error:

mount.nfs: No such device

I am using the default CentOS 5.2 with yum updates from Proxmox. I have installed nfs-utils and portmapper, but it seems that this is not supported in the kernel?

Has anyone done this or know of another way to share data with another virtual server? it does not have to be nfs, but several virtual servers will be sharing the same data.

what about bind mounts?

Just a quick update to this, but I get this problem all the time with Proxmox. There is a very simple solution which always works for me, run the NFS mount on the primary server i.e. the proxmox install and then try it again within the container.

For some reason, this always fixes the error.
