Description Sven 2004-09-05 07:33:52 UTC

Hi,

there are nfs-utils-r1 and nfs-utils-r4 that install a init.d-script that correctly mounts the nfsd-filesystem to /proc/fs/nfsd. There should be ebuilds that are stabel on x86 and/or amd64 which also do the mount-stuff. Otherweise NFS won't be very operational on kernel 2.6 systems. To quote Trond Myklebust from the LKML:

2) A bug in your initscripts is causing the table of exports to be
clobbered. Running "exportfs" in legacy 2.4 mode (without having the
nfsd filesystem mounted on /proc/fs/nfsd) appears to be broken for me at
least...

Reproducible: Always
