Subject: NFS Kernel server inside a container

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to run an NFS kernel server inside a linux container?

I tried setting one up on a debian (vserver enabled) kernel, and it seems to start the portmap, rpc.statd, rpc.idmapd rpc.mountd daemons inside the container, but I cannot seem to mount the filesystem from a client.  I do get the following error message on server startup:

  FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-trunk-vserver-686/modules.dep: No such file or directory


When trying to mount on the client, after blocking on the mount for a while, I get:

  mount.nfs: mount system call failed

Any thoughts?  Has anyone else done this?  Should this be possible in the first place?  Thanks,

-Martin
