Greetings,
[New readers start here... :) ]
I've spent several days-worth of my time over the last few weeks in trying to
get my i5 box to export its portage tree and packages directory to a chroot on
my M9 machine. I read all the docs, I thought about the help that was offered
here, I changed file systems and partitions around - everything I could think
of.
The answer was simple, and I stumbled over it in a post on Stack Exchange: the
behaviour of NFS mount calls changed in NFS v4. I didn't need to change /etc/
exports on the i5, but the NFS-mount call on the M9 did need to change.
# cat /etc/exports # on the i5
/mnt/nfs \
192.168.178.7(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,crossmnt,fsid=0)
/mnt/nfs/portage \
192.168.178.7(rw,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
/mnt/nfs/packages \
192.168.178.7(rw,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
$ grep nfs /etc/init.d/nuci # on the M9. Nuci is the I5
mount -t nfs 192.168.178.4:portage /mnt/nuci/var/db/repos/gentoo
mount -t nfs 192.168.178.4:packages /mnt/nuci/var/cache/packages
Notice the absence of '/mnt/nfs' from the M9 mount commands. That's what was
tripping me up all that time.
Someone needs to have a look at the nfs-utils wiki page. I'd do something
myself, but how? I raised a bug against a document once, only to be rebuked.
