[Ltsp-discuss] LTSP NFS

[Maxime A. <max...@un...>]

Hi, 

I wanted to try NFS instead of NBD on a working LTSP setup with Ubuntu 18.04. Is NFS still supported ? 

I did `apt install nfs-kernel-server && ltsp-config nfs` and changed boot to ltsp-NFS instead of ltsp-NBD. The client start booting but ends in a loop : 

``` 
Begin: Retrying nfs mount ... no search or nameservers found in /run/net-ens3.conf /run/net-ens3.conf /run/net6-*.conf 
mount call failed - server replied no such file or directory 
done. 
Begin: Retrying nfs mount ... 
``` 

I have the same error "no search or nameservers found in /run/net-ens3.conf /run/net-ens3.conf /run/net6-*.conf" while booting with NBD, but the client continue and boots normally. 

I would like to confirm I did everything correctly before filing a bug.

P.S. I know NBD should perform better than NFS but in my case, I have an Virtual Storage Infrastructure with a 2GB bandwith supporting NFS / CIFS / iSCSI only. My LTSP server has 1GB bandwith only.
