nfs server works nicely under current tomsrtbt(*) for all the ordinary ext3 filesystems. However, I then tried serving my WinNT VFAT32 partition. It half-worked. I was able to mount it locally under tomsrtbt, and I was then able to mount it from another machine and at first I could list files in the C: drive dir, but when I tried to cd to it, it "disappeared". And then I couldn't even list files any more.

Running my normal RH7.3 on that same machine and nfs-serving that same VFAT, the other machine could list, cd, and view all files no problem at all. So it appears to be a problem in either the 2.2.20 kernel or those libc5 version of rpc.xxx and portmap.

What is now annoying me is, shortly after I tried it, I read something somewhere which gave me some suggestion of something to try, made a mental note of it as I couldn't do it right then, now I can try whatever it was but have forgotten it. Any suggestion?

(*) Actually in case anyone else tries this, I am runnning my own kernel and had specified support for all NFS options and VFAT fs. Not sure whether the stock tomsrtbt kernel has all those.

Ah, thanks. But actually - I see they are not on all mirrors. I had looked on the ibiblio one and they are not on that : http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/recovery/
But I do see them on the tux one : http://www.tux.org/pub/distributions/tinylinux/tomsrtbt/


Still think maybe nice to add their location to the FAQ.

The add-ons are availalbe on the same mirrors where tomsrtbt is, start at http://www.toms.net/rb/, follow through to tux or one of the others, you'll see them there. -Tom
