I would like to take advantage of the apparent better performance of NFS-server capability of the new kernel. I have built my kernel 2.2.12 with nfs-server capability. I cannot find any documentation on this capability (howto, etc.) The help message from the kernel configuration is attached below. The referenced NFS-HOWTO is dated 11-3-97 and was apparently written before this feature was added to the kernel? How do I do this?
_________________________________________________________________ CONFIG_NFSD: If you want your Linux box to act as a NFS *server*, so that other computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you should say N here, or you can say Y and use this new experimental kernel based NFS server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is faster; it might not be completely stable yet, though. In either case, you will need support software; the respective locations are given in the file Documentation/Changes in the NFS section. Please read the NFS-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. The NFS server is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module is called nfsd.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. If unsure, say N. -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ |James D.
