Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.0.7-9
I find that it's impossible to successfully export a root filesystem
which is locally mounted from a hard disk. All other exports involving
the same client/server pair work fine; it only fails when the client
attempts to NFS mount the server's root filesystem.
server filesystem (from /bin/mount):
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
server /etc/exports entry:
/ 192.168.0.0/16(sync)
No error message appears in the logs when the server starts, but
attempting to NFS mount the server root produces a "Permission denied"
error on the client, and the following entry in the server logs:
Apr 25 06:30:21 server mountd[17596]: authenticated mount request from
client:988 for / (/)
Apr 25 06:30:21 server mountd[17596]: getfh failed: Operation not permitted
Conversely, when the root filesystem is not even exported, the same
mount attempt produces this log entry:
Apr 25 06:31:04 server mountd[17596]: refused mount request from client for /
(/): no export entry
And this is a successful mount of a non-root filesystem:
Apr 25 06:47:06 server mountd[17596]: authenticated mount request from
client:993 for /home (/home)
related packages:
nfs-common : 1:1.0.7-9
libnfsidmap1 : version 0.13-1
libc6 : version 2.3.6-7
mount : 2.12r-8
kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 : version 2.4.27-11
Various configuration examples suggest that it ought to be possible to
export a block-device root filesystem just like any other, but currently
this seems not to work. Perhaps the documentation could explain what
needs to be done to make this possible ("fsid=xxx"?), or if it is in
fact not possible for some reason, make this clear.

The 2.4 kernel series is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report. Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny. If
this issue is still present, let me know.
Thanks.
