1This is the Linux NFS utility package version 0.1.5. It is based on 2knfsd 1.4.7. 3 4WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.13 are not compatible with 5other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an 6NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should get the Linux NFS 7kernel from the Linux NFS CVS server: 8 91. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh. 102. Login to the Linux NFS CVS server: 11 12# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login 13 14without password if it is your first time. 15 163. Check out the current Linux 2.2 NFS kernel: 17 18a. From the NFS V2 branch: 19 20# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2 21 22b. From the main trunk: 23 24# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co linux-2.2 25 264. If you don't want to use the current NFS kernel, you can find out 27for which kernels the NFS patch is available: 28 29# cd linux-2.2 30# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs status -v Makefile 31 32Then generate the kernel patch: 33 34# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2 35 36If there is no NFS patch for the kernel you are interested in, you have 37to make a patch closest to your kernel version and apply it by hand. 38 39There is a Linux NFS kernel source tree for Linux 2.3, linux-2.3, on 40the Linux NFS CVS server. We will need all the help we can get. To 41contribute to the Linux NFS project, please go to 42 43http://www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org 44 45You register yourself. Please send an email to 46nfs-admin@linuxnfs.sourceforge.org with 47 481. Your user id on www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org. 492. The area in NFS you'd like to work on. 50 51You will be notified when it is done. 52 53There is a Linux NFS mailing list at 54 55http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/nfs/ 56You can subscribe it and search the mailing list archive via a web 57browser. 58 59The nfs-utils package is available from the CVS server: 60 61# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co nfs-utils 62 63will get the latest version. 64 65The files are 66 67ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.5.tar.gz 68ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.4-0.1.5.diff.gz 69 70To compile, just do 71 72# ./configure 73# make 74 75# make install 76 77will install the nfs-utils binaries. You have to install the NFS 78service scripts. There are 2 in etc/redhat provided for RedHat 6.x. 79They are tested on RedHat 6.1. 80 81On RedHat 6.1, you can use 82 83# rpm -ta nfs-utils-0.1.5.tar.gz 84 85to build the source and binary RPMs. 86 87If your mount from util-linux is too old, you will need 2 patches: 88 89ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/util-linux-2.9o-mount-nfsv3.patch 90ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/util-linux-2.9w-mount-nfsv3try.patch 91 92Thanks. 93 94 95H.J. 96hjl@lucon.org 9712/19/99 98 99
