Re: user space nfsd?
Can someone enlighten me? The remote machines to which I have access are all Solaris, not Debian. What is userspace nfs and how do I set it up? Or, where can I get the source for Solaris nfsd and will it work if I'm not root? Presumably I will need to use some arbitrary non-privileged port; will Linux mount(8) understand this? -chris HUH?!!! knfsd has problems afaik but I find this very difficult to believe. Userspace nfs has never crashed here since the past year on a mixture of machines, Debian-Sparc, Solaris 7, Solaris 2.5, Debian x86, RH5.2, RH6, RH61.. What kind of processing/loads/transfers do you have going ? Just an adverse pov ;) -- Ragga Muffin

Check tha manual pages for 'nfsd' and 'sharetab'. And yes, you must be root to make any settings etc.. It's actually very probable that you have nfsd running, but with blank settings... And as I said, we have no problems here mounting those files from linux clients. (Don't worry about user vs kernelspace, that's for linux only) HTH, == Ragga
user space nfsd?
I'm looking for a way to mount my home directory on a remote machine, on my linux machine at home. I don't have root access on the remote machine. Anyone know if this is possible? Something very similar is surely possible since Emacs does it (ange-ftp), but I'm looking for a command-line solution. -chris
Re: user space nfsd?
a word of warning, current NFS in linux is really bad. dont know if its the kernel or the tools or both(probably both) but i have experienced severe problems with it. the last time i tried it i tried to get a debian 2.2 machine with a self-built 2.2.15 kernel to mount a nfs drive from a redhat and also another mandrake machine. both the redhat and mandrake machines locked up HARD. but both those machines could mount each other's volumes with no trouble at all. there is a nfs developer project on sourceforge(forgot the name) that looks like it has all the unofficial nfs patches and upgrades. nate nate On Wed, 12 Jul 2000, Krzys Majewski wrote: majews I'm looking for a way to mount my home directory on a remote machine, majews on my linux machine at home.
