Hi, I'm encountering some annoyances building (out-of-tree) modules on an NFS filesystem. The NFS filesystem is exported with the default root_squash option. When I build as a normal user, then su to root to do the final make modules_install, it fails with permission denied. For example, modules_install tries to delete all the files in the .tmp_versions subdirectory, or tries to write to Module.symvers, but the nfs root_squash prevents root from having any special write permissions. I've verified this problem with 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 kernels. It didn't happen with the old kernel I was using (2.6.8).
Is there any reason that a "make modules_install" has to modify files in the source tree? -- Frank
