Busybox NFS mount problem

I have seen many times the following question but not the solution. I`m using busybox V1.0 pre9 and try to mount an NFS directory on a server. The server works correctly, because I can mount the directory from my desktop.



Hoever when I try to mount it from my system with busybox I get the following error.



# mount -t nfs 10.0.0.1:/exports/extras /mnt nfs warning: mount version older than kernel NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address! mount: Mounting 10.0.0.1:/exports/extras on /mnt failed: Invalid argument



I tried with 2 diffrenet kernels 2.4.21 and 2.4.25 both with the same result. Both server and busybox system are setup to support NFS V3.



Any suggestions ?

This is how I interprete it.

kernel is newer - recompile mount command (i.e. busybox etc) Make sure that it uses the headers from the kernel it will run with.

I also got this annoying message, when I switched to v1.0pre7 of busybox. It vanished when I compiled the uClibc toolchain_gcc-v2.95 from busybox.org and recompiled busybox with the tools of this chain. Now nfs works like a charme :-)

My system uses 2.4.22

mine also.
