The NFS server I was referring to is on the host hosting the guests. It is a kludge. I don't want to run it, but doing so is the only way at the moment I can make NFS mounting in the guests work. > If a guest is the NFS server, have you tried using a user space NFS server > such as nfs-user-server or unfs3? No, because my aim is not to run a server. I simply want the guests to be able to mount NFS filesystems from other hosts elsewhere on the nework. I have guests on other systems doing this without requiring NFS servers on their hosts.
