2.4.0test9 NFS client to 2.2.0 stock NFS server (knfsd).

My NFS server runs fine - well as fine as stock 2.2.16 NFS
gets..  I can connect from 2.2.x client, but 2.4.0test9 will not
connect.

I will play some more with it tomorrow, and if I still can't get
it working, I'll write back with more details (logs).

Yep, I'll check that out too.  Thanks for the tips.  Take care,

The only thing missing is the nfs-utils version: the rule there is
'all versions work but nfs-utils-0.2.1 is supposed to work
best'.
Personally, however, I'm still using the stock nfs-utils-0.1.9.1 that
you get with most distributions.

Look into linux/Documentation/Changes.
Oh, it fails to tell about the NFS stuff.

Basically, for using the NFS client, you need nothing. Just mount the
volumes.
For a NFS server, you need either userspace NFS server (aka unfsd), or the
user space for the kernelspace one (aka knfsd). For both, you also need the
RPC broker portmap running.
