Hi David, Very nice!
NFS support indeed needs an uClibc change (which adds a lot of size), but LVM2 only needs a kernel module AFAIK so would be an easy one. Anyway, people who need NFS server support can create there own packages if they like with the provided documentation. The setup can be added to leaf.cvs.sourceforge.net/leaf/src/bering-uclibc/contrib/ which you can do with your sourceforge account. Or you can send me the sources and I can add it. It would be a pity if the setup would get lost. Eric > Hi, > > > I've been experimenting with using Bering-uClibc as a fileserver for a > few months now, mainly using the iSCSI protocol.
