nfs with reiserfs and ufs on freebsd

nfs with reiserfs and ufs on freebsd

[cmc2slack-lvm]

I'm using ReiserFS on Slackware 9.1 and would
like to be able to nfs mount filesystems on
my FreeBSD 4.8 system. From what I've read 
ReiserFS doesn't do this now, is there a patch
I can install to enable it or is it going to
be available in a later version? Thanks,

Your information must be wrong.
Reiserfs works very well with nfs since a long time ago.
I don't know the exact kernel version but the nfs bugs
were ironed out in the early 2.4.x kernel series.
I haven't tried the combination Linux -> FreeBSD, though.

Thanks for the quick reply Hans.

I read about it searching the FreeBSD lists after
I had trouble mounting my FreeBSD filesystem, but I
didn't pursue it very far. Does nfs work with UFS
in the current version?

(I am pretty new to journalled filesystems on linux, 
just learning my way around)

I think it is inaccurate, but since you say you had problems doing it, 
maybe you should tell us more.  We don't use FreeBSD

Hello,

If you don't use BSD flock() nor O_EXCL in a dotlocking scheme, there shouldn't be any
problem with NFS linux server and BSD client.

Ref: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-nfs&m=107039404809687&w=2

Thanks,

Philippe

FreeBSD 4.8 as NFS client doesn't do any locking at all.

O_EXCL doesn't work across NFS anyways, workaround: use mkstemp(2) and
link(2).
