-- H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org)--- This is the Linux NFS utility package version 0.1.4. It is based on knfsd 1.4.7.WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.13 are not compatible with other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should get the Linux NFS kernel from the Linux NFS CVS server:
1. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh. 2. Login to the Linux NFS CVS server:
# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login
without password if it is your first time.
3. Check out the current Linux 2.2 NFS kernel:
a. From the NFS V2 branch:
# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2
b. From the main trunk:
# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co linux-2.2
4. If you don't want to use the current NFS kernel, you can find out for which kernels the NFS patch is available:
# cd linux-2.2 # cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs status -v Makefile
Then generate the kernel patch:
# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2
If there is no NFS patch for the kernel you are interested in, you have to make a patch closest to your kernel version and apply it by hand.
There is a Linux NFS kernel source tree for Linux 2.3, linux-2.3, on the Linux NFS CVS server. We will need all the help we can get. To contribute to the Linux NFS project, please go to
http://www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org
You register yourself. Please send an email to nfs-admin@linuxnfs.sourceforge.org with
1. Your user id on www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org. 2. The area in NFS you'd like to work on.
You will be notified when it is done.
There is a Linux NFS mailing list at
http://lists.varesearch.com/lists/listinfo/nfs/
You can subscribe it and search the mailing list archive via a web browser.
The nfs-utils package is available from the CVS server:
# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co nfs-utils
will get the latest version.
The files are
ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.3-0.1.4.diff.gz
To compile, just do
# ./configure # make
# make install
will install the nfs-utils binaries. You have to install the NFS service scripts. There are 2 in etc/redhat provided for RedHat 6.x. They are tested on RedHat 6.1.
On RedHat 6.1, you can use
# rpm -ta nfs-utils-0.1.4.tar.gz
to build the source and binary RPMs.
If your mount from util-linux is too old, you will need 2 patches:
ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/util-linux-2.9o-mount-nfsv3.patch ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/util-linux-2.9w-mount-nfsv3try.patch
Thanks.
