nfsserver only serves NFS version 2 and not all clients are smart enough to try multiple NFS versions, so you may have to specify it, typically like this (in /etc/fstab): nfs:/ /n/9nfs nfsvers=2,proto=udp,user,bg,intr or as a command: mount -o bg,intr,-2

Hi John, it took me sometime to go through the old backups but it seems that the NFS setup is gone by now. You can still ask questions, if you want to, but I won't be able to send you all the working conf. files. On Tue, 2009-06-02 at 11:34 -0700, John Floren wrote: I'd like to use the 9p

I'm looking into NFS because it seems that it has about the lowest barrier to entry of all the possible file-sharing methods. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I use aquarela to serve cifs to windows boxen but NFS seems preferable given your clients are Linux. -Steve

none does not (normally) give you read-only access; if something is world-writable, none will be able to write it. but getting read-only is pretty easy; see exportfs(4) and the files which use it in /rc/bin/service. from emory, i'd say exec /bin/exportfs -Rr /lib/music would do what you want.

for the from anywhere part, just use .+ as the host regexp. the anyone part also doesn't really apply: the files don't affect who can connect or read things, just what the mapping is done as (iirc, world readable is still world readable). if you just want to not bother with the passwd and group
