[Devil-linux-develop] NFS client?

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

Is there a reason NFS support isn't in the kernel?  I don't want to be a
NFS server, but it'd be handy to be able to mount a NFS drive.  And it'd
save me from having to install a hard drive in a DL box of mine.

Dear All,

Excepte SuSe 9.1 Professional, are there free OS can compile Devel-Linux
1.3? I failed of using Fedora Core 1 to compile DL 1.05. And, I also
failed of compiling 1.3 using CentOS 3.1.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I had major problems with Fedora, but can't explain why.
I used SuSE 8 and 8.1 before.

It's in the feature requests, we just need a volunteer to add it. ;-)

Does it require anything other than selecting some more option(s) in the
kernel config?

Isn't there a client piece too ?
(I never really used NFS)

The only client piece I know about is the "mount" command.
(I never really looked into the NFS internals)

When I try to do a NFS mount on DL now, it tells me that
it's not supported in the kernel, so it appears the mount
command is working.

OK, I added the NFS module in the kernel.  Then I figured out that 
the RPC portmap is required for the NFS client.  Luckily I added 
the portmapper awhile back when I added NIS.  All done!  :-)
