I have a w2k box running cygwin and in particular the nfs-server. Then I
have serge debian box with the standard stuff.
It seems that nfs-server is not able to actually make available stuff
outside the cygwin root. Is this a hard fact or is there space for a
misconfiguration?
in the w2k box I have installed cygwin under c:\Optional\cygwin and I
have used --change-cygdrive-prefix for changing the prefix to '/'.
c: and d: are local hard drives in the w2k machine.
My output is shown below. Trying to mount /c gives a catastrophic error
output, trying to mount /d seems to be less serious but a failure
anyhow. Mounting / works great.
cygwin is great stuff and nfs-server is valuable. I would like to know
whether I'm doing something wrong or whether I'm just hitting the limits.
thanks,
Rodrigo

In some cases useful info is found in syslog -
try
dmesg | tail or so
# dmesg -c
nfs_get_root: getattr error = 116
nfs_read_super: get root inode failed
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
nfs_get_root: getattr error = 116

# mount -t nfs remote:/d /mnt/remote
mount: remote:/d failed, reason given by server: No

# dmesg -c
# mount -t nfs remote:/ /mnt/remote
