This is, in a nutshell, the setup I'm using for testing: # installing a minimal chroot containing nfs-common debootstrap --include=nfs-common $RELEASE /srv/nfsroot/$RELEASE echo "$RELEASE-nfsroot" > /srv/nfsroot/$RELEASE/etc/hostname echo "iface eth0 inet manual" >> /srv/nfsroot/$RELEASE/etc/network/interfaces chroot /srv/nfsroot/$RELEASE passwd root
# exporting the nfsroot from the server echo "/srv/nfsroot/$RELEASE *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)" >> /etc/exports service nfs-kernel-server reload For testing in a VM, you can set it up in virt-manager to do a direct kernel boot using the host's kernel and initramfs, and kernel args along the lines of "ro boot=nfs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<server IP>:/srv/nfsroot/$RELEASE". I'm tarpman in #ubuntu-devel if you want to talk about this with lower latency, for example if I made some error above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537133 Title: mountall issues with NFS root filesystem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/537133/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
