It doesn't work very well. I've got both my Linux boxes compiled that way, and it's never worked. Between my two Linux boxes, both with 2.2.10, I can only mount from WS to masq. Masq to WS mounts always tell me "Permission denied...", with the WS logs telling me: Jun 25 07:51:56 reliant mountd[460]: getfh failed: Operation not permitted
When I go from FBSD to Linux, everything works perfectly, except for the filesystem thing--only what's n the physical partition gets mounted.
Frankly, Linux NFS leaves much to be desired, and needs to be either rewritten or changed. Tell me again, *why* did we go to much vaunted-yet not working consistently knfsd?
I'm *really* working hard on my C programming, but it'll be a while before I could write/rewrite an NFS daemon, so about all I can do is point out the foibles and follies...
in my .config I have:
# # Network File Systems # # CONFIG_CODA_FS is not set CONFIG_NFS_FS=y CONFIG_NFSD=y CONFIG_NFSD_SUN=y CONFIG_SUNRPC=y CONFIG_LOCKD=y CONFIG_SMB_FS=y # CONFIG_NCP_FS is not set
Linux nfs is definitely an area that needs much work, and hopefully those who can are going fast and furious to make it a decent filesystem. -- Matthew Vanecek Course of Study: http://www.unt.edu/bcis Visit my Website at http://people.unt.edu/~mev0003 For answers type: perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);' ***************************************************************** For 93 million miles, there is nothing between the sun and my shadow except me.
