If you plan to serve NFS from a guest nfs-user-server work fine but without lock support.

I usually use nfs-kernel-server, but maybe for linux-vserver > the userspace NFS daemon is the more adequate approach? The kernel-space NFS server isn't available in the vservers for obvious reasons. So I suggest to use the kernel-space nfs server in the root server. Mounting directories from the root server into a vserver running on the same physical machine can be done by using the bind feature. So a network file system isn't necessary. Just add the following line to /etc/vservers//fstab: none bind,rw 0 0 e.g. /home /home none bind,rw 0 0 Remote directories are mounted into the each vserver which needs access using nfs. This is done by adding the following line to /etc/vservers//fstab.remote: : nfs defaults,rw 0 0 e.g. 192.168.0.1:/home /home nfs defaults,rw 0 0 Ciao Tim ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
