[expert] 7.2 and nfs
Hello, Am I hallucinating or does the pre-built kernel shipped with 7.2 not have nfs file type turned on? When I mount an nfs drive I get the error, "fs type nfs not supported by kernel". How can Mandrake ship a kernel without nfs turned on? On top of that, they do not supply the configuration file they used to build the pre-built kernel!!

Re: [expert] 7.2 and nfs
/sbin/modprobe nfs cannot locate the nfs module. The object file is in /lib/modules/fs/nfs.o? I added it to /lib/modules/fs/modules.dep just for the hell of it and then did a modprobe nfs and I got a bunch of unresolved symbol errors? Submitted 07-Nov-00 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Am I hallucinating or does the pre-built kernel shipped with 7.2 not have nfs file type turned on? It's built as a module (like virtually everything else). When I mount an nfs drive I get the error, "fs type nfs not supported by kernel". Did you try "modprobe nfs"? Maybe adding it to /etc/modules so that it gets loaded at every boot? How can Mandrake ship a kernel without nfs turned on? See above. Since a rather large number of users have little or no use for nfs, it would be patently ridiculous to build it into the kernel. On top of that, they do not supply the configuration file they used to build the pre-built kernel!! And the .config file (for the umpteen-millionth time) *is* provided. Look in the /usr/share/doc/kernel-version directory. -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 [EMAIL PROTECTED] RSA key available upon request Clothes make the man.
