The knfsd tar file has been replaced by nfs-utils. -- H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org) -- This is the Linux NFS utility package version 0.1.5. 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.sourceforge.net/mailman/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-0.1.5.tar.gz ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.4-0.1.5.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-0.1.5.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.
