Extracted to /var/pixie/root, exported that via nfs, logged into pixie (my WRT54G) and chrooted. That works. Now, I wanted to bring the chroot up-to-date: # apt update bash: apt: command not found Alrightly, so, no apt in the base debian system. That makes sense, so worries, I'll just use dpkg: # dpkg --install apt dpkg: unable to lock dpkg status database: No locks available Googling for the error, I see a bug (134591) says that dpkg doesn't work over nfs when the F_SETLK ioctl doesn't work. The it's marked wontfix, and it appears the reasoning is that the user should just enable file locking over nfs. I edited my /etc/exports to use the insecure_locks option, since this could have been the root of the problem. I unmounted the chroot on pixie, did an exportfs -r on the server, remounted and re-chroot'd on pixie. Same error. Consulting the great google again, I find some linux kernel mailing list posts that indicate I need statd running on both sides and lockd on the server (and maybe the client?). The client is running lockd, but not statd. I can't find a userland binary in either the OpenWRT image or the debian chroot that will start statd. The server is running both lockd and rpc.statd. I can't seem to find and OpenWRT package that enables statd, I can search by name, but none look promising, and I have descriptions, just not easy-to-search ones. I looked at the nfs-server package, but it specifically mentions that it does not support locking. Any suggestions? I think a custom OpenWRT build and reflash would do the trick, but I'm not sure, and even if it would I'm not sure exactly what options to select. I also don't want to get into the habit of reflashing all the time. Rereading my own message, this may not be the /best/ forum for it, but I'll throw it out and see if anyone bites. I'll also hit the OpenWRT forums consult them for how enable nfs locking.
