Unfortunately i'm no longer able to use NFS. Are there any recent issues ? For a detailed problem description please see below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Martin I have two machines..let's say A and B. On A / /boot and /sys are exported via /etc/exports. Machine B are mouting these sources when booting via NFS. Since i updated the kernel i get the following errors when machine A is starting the NFS services : --- Jul 8 09:30:13 hostA exportfs: hostB:/boot: No such device Jul 8 09:30:13 hostA exportfs: hostB:/sys: No such device Jul 8 09:30:13 hosta exportfs: hostB:/: No such device Jul 8 09:30:13 hostA nfs: Starting NFS services: succeeded Jul 8 09:30:13 hostA nfs: rpc.rquotad startup succeeded Jul 8 09:30:13 hostA nfsd[6376]: nfssvc: No such device Jul 8 09:30:13 hosta nfs: rpc.nfsd startup failed Jul 8 09:30:13 hostA nfs: rpc.mountd startup succeeded ---- cat /etc/exports: / hostB(ro,sync,no_root_squash) /sys hostB(ro,sync,no_root_squash) /boot hostB(ro,sync,no_root_squash) ---- cat /etc/hosts.allow ALL:hostB ---- With the old kernel 2.4.20-8 i had no problems. NFS support is compiled into the new kernel.
