Well, that would explain why it wouldn't work.... Is this documented anywhere? I did some Usenet searching and came up with an article from John Murtari <jmurtari@thebook.com> in comp.os.linux.networking. He suggested using a 2.2.12 kernel, with patches from the knfsd distribution. (Earlier, I had tried knfs, but the 2.2.12 kernel I built had an nfsd module with undefined symbols....) After applying the patches and rebuilding the kernel, and installing the Debian knfs package (replacing nfs-server), it finally worked! :-) The NFS-HOWTO document is dated 1997. It doesn't cover *any* of this. -- Greg Wooledge | Distributed.NET http://www.distributed.net/ wooledge@kellnet.com | because a CPU is a terrible thing to waste. http://www.kellnet.com/wooledge/ |
