Subject: Functional nfsd for Linux
While paging through linux-activists today, I noticed that one of the
authors of the user-space nfsd recommended upgrading to a new nfsd to
fix a bunch of problems similar to ours.
The new ftp server is in tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/BETA/NFS.
I grabbed it, compiled it on quiche:/usr/src/usr.sbin. I had to do a
manual install because it wanted to install in /usr/etc; I might have
bothered to fix the makefile instead, but we're going to do away with
/usr/src fairly soon anyway.
As far as I can tell, the nfsd works great. I'm doing a du on
quiche:/usr/src right now, and it's been humming along through at
least several hundred directories.
Upshot: Linux has a functional (non-Kerberized) NFS server. Better
yet:
% attach -t nfs -e quiche:/usr/src
attach: Warning: mount daemon on QUICHE-LORRAINE.MIT.EDU doesn't understand UID maps
(filesystem quiche:/usr/src)
attach: filesystem quiche:/usr/src (QUICHE-LORRAINE.MIT.EDU:/usr/src) mounted on /quiche/usr/src (read-write)
Enjoy.
