When I start portmap, everything is fine. When I start netfs, (nfs) is not
in init.d, it says other filesystems mount: fs type nfs not supported by
kernel. Does this mean I have to re-configure my kernel or up-grade?
Portmap is not in init.d on 7.2, netfs is. When I started it, it said
mounting other file systems mount: nfs [ok} But all it did was place a
text file in my nfs directory telling me how to configure a server to serve a
number of clients. I just want to share files between clients. Is this even
possible?
Thanks,
Totally Lost
