Hello All,

Thanks for the pointer.
I'm getting there . . . .

It looks like NFS only works on AstLinux if directories are exported (see 
/etc/init.d/nfsd)
But, because AstLinux is a small "diskless" configuration where I want to limit 
the number of read/writes I don't really want to give anyone access to the 
flash from outside.

However, I don't see any options in rc.conf to simply be a nfs client and allow 
me to use an external filesystem.
I don't want to suggest that the csv files (for example) should be written 
off-AstLinux because I don't suppose * can check first before writing and if 
the external machine is off-line when it writes the csv goes missing (at the 
least).

So, here's what I've found:

I do not have INTIP defined because I'm running in PBX only mode.
This means that IPBASE doesn't get defined in /etc/init.d/nfsd
This means if I un-comment the following in rc.conf :
NFS_EXPORTS_RO="/tftpboot /mnt/kd/cdr-csv"
NFS_EXPORTS_RW="/home"

my /etc/exports file is:
/tftpboot /mnt/kd/cdr-csv       .0/(ro,no_root_squash,sync)
/home        .0/(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

OK - I modified them by hand.

As an aside -  because I don't want to: this also means that I can't boot over 
NFS because 
#NFSROOTPATH="$INTIP:/mnt/kd/nfsroot"
also uses INTIP.

Does this mean I've misunderstood what "PBX only mode" means?
Or did I misunderstand :
##If you do not define the INTIF, I will not try to start one.
##If you do not define the INTIF, I will also not start the following services:
##dnsmasq iptables astshape (PBX only mode)
##PBX Only mode is enabled by default from 0.2.8.10
#INTIF=eth1

Or can I set an INTIP=(the same as the EXTIP) ?
(didn't try)

Anyway, with a /etc/exports file AstLinux starts all the nfs-stuff and when I 
try to mount the export on my FreeBSD machine I get access.
I just have to get rw access working . . . .

When I get this working where should I write it up on voip-info?

Regrads,
