Hello everyone,
I am trying to setup a PC as a diskless Linux machine, by booting a kernel with NFSROOT enabled from floppy. I have configured the IP addresses with Linux command line parameter NFSADDRS, and the root directory that should be mounted with NFSROOT. This directory resides on an HP-UX box (HP-UX dutettf A.09.01 A 9000/710), and the Linux kernel that is being booted is 1.3.71.
Now this has worked a number of times, but more often not, and whether it works or not seems not to be deterministic, at least on the face of it. The error occuring is the server returning 'access denied' for the root directory that is to be mounted. When I try to mount the same directory on the same server from the same PC, but with PC-NFS under DOS, it works all the time. This puzzles me.
It seems that in the mountd server log on the HP, some of the times that access was denied, the name of the directory that had to be mounted is logged _with an appended LF character_. But not every time. So possibly some mount-point-name mangling is happening somewhere along the way???
If anyone recognises what I am talking about, or has an idea of what is wrong, or has a suggestion as to what I could try, please drop me a line.
