Sender: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org Errors-To: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Recently I tried to boot a Linux box (in my case it was a i386, but the problem also exists for a PA-RISC box) from an HP-UX server (model 9000/856, the E55 running 11.00). The problem was, I could not mount a NFS-Root for the Linux box. I analysed the problem, and it seems to be a problem with the MOUNT version (not mixed up with NFS version). Linux uses for normal mounts MOUNT v3, for NFS ROOT mounts MOUNT v1, which does not include UID and GID for example. The NFS Server on the HP-UX machine reports in the log (activated to debug level), that the mount request does not include UID. So the mount is rejected (EACCES). So I was not able to boot a linux box using NFS ROOT from an HP-UX server, but I can boot any Linux box (PA-RISC, i386) from a i386-Linux box. I hope, you can help here. I think the problem is also interesting for others, using a HP-UX machine as NFS server instead a Linux machine.
