List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Hi, I am trying to export a memory-based file system via NFS. However, I am not able to do with either ramfs or tmpfs. Here is the reported error. Is there a protection in NFS server to prevent this? I also tried to use ramdisk. That worked, however, I am not able to create a ramdisk of more than 1G. I need to create a ramdisk that is 2G or more. Any insights on this. I will be happy if I can get solutions for either of the approaches. Or is there any other alternatives? Thanks, Weikuan [root@yoda1 ~]# mount -t tmpfs none /nfs [root@yoda1 ~]# df -h /nfs Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on none 506M 0 506M 0% /nfs [root@yoda1 ~]# ssh node0002 -bash-3.00# mount 192.168.1.254:/nfs /nfs mount: 192.168.1.254:/nfs failed, reason given by server: Permission denied ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
