NFS Root

NFS Root

[Claude Robitaille]

Hi,


I am trying to boot my MPC860 board via NFS-Root but I am getting
a -13 error. The board did properly get its IP address from a bootp
server. The server also provided the NFS server address, which the
board properly use. I am able to mount the exported file system using
another client (actually, the bootp server; I have 2 stations plus the
860 board).

Is there a good source of information on NFS other then the HOWTO. It
seems a little bit outdated (early 1997); I am using 2.2.12 with kernel
NFS, etc. And it does not rely help in troubleshooting (i.e. what is
error -13?)

Thanks

Claude

For us, adding the no_root_squash option to the export usually fixes this
problem.

HI,

it is me again, I think my problem comes from mountd since it
is the last entry in the NFS server log. Some NFS related man
page refers to a man page mountd(8) but it was not included
with the knfsd rpm. Anobody has it? I'd like to see if there
is some debugging / authentication options.

Thanks

Claude

NFS root

[Chester Carey]

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to get a NFS root file system working on an
embedded device. Everything seems to go fine until I get to init, it trys to run
init and then nothing (no kernel messages or anything else). The ramdisk works
fine when booted from memeory rather than NFS. Has anyone had a similar problem
or does anyone know a fix for this
