Here is the exports file: /usr 192.168.xx.xx/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,sync,no_root_squash) /home/ 192.168.xx.xx/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,sync,no_root_squash) Slightly obfuscated of course. And whats this 'nfs-kernel-server'? Thats all built into the kernel IIRC, currently 2.6.16-rc1. From a grep of the .config: CONFIG_NFS_FS=y CONFIG_NFS_V3=y # CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL is not set # CONFIG_NFS_V4 is not set # CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO is not set CONFIG_NFSD=y CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y # CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL is not set # CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not set CONFIG_NFSD_TCP=y CONFIG_NFS_COMMON=y I suppose I could turn the rest of it on when I build -rc2 which should be shortly released. >> And it will repeat that manta ad infinitum. >> >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# service nfs restart >> Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ] >> Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ] >> Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ] >> Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ] >> Starting NFS services: [ OK ] >> Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] >> Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] >> Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] >> Starting NFS4 idmapd: Error: RPC MTAB does not exist. >> >> A man idmapd make no mention of that file... The second time it was of course already running so it didn't fail the shutdown. I don't have it started in my normal bootup, no use wasting cpu cycles on something that doesn't work. :) [...] -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
