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/<vserver-name>/fstab: <root servers dir path> <vservers mount point path> 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/<vserver-name>/fstab.remote: <nfs server>:<path> <vservers mount point path> 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
