It is based on linux-nfs +0.4.22. It is tested on Linux/alpha and Linux/x86 running glibc 2.1.1. + +WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.11 are not compatible with +other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an +NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should apply the patches +enlosed here. + +linux-2.2.7-sunrpc.patch, nfsd-2.2.7-2.lockd.patch, nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch +and nfsd-2.2.7-nfsfh.patch are required for Linux 2.2.7 to 2.2.11. +For other kernel versions, they have to be applied by hand if they are +still needed. + +For Linux 2.2.7 to 2.2.10, nfsd-2.2.7-1.lock.patch is also required. + +I made my knfsd package available only because I use it and noone else +seems to maintain it. But I don't have much time to really work on it. +I will only fix bugs in the NFS utilities and serious kernel NFS bugs +which I can duplcate easily. If you have any kernel NFS server problem, +please report it to the Linux kernel mailing list. If it can be +reproduced with Linux NFS server and client in less than 5 minutes, you +can also send me a copy in addition to sending it to the Linux kernel +mailing list. I may take a look when I have time. However I will collect +kernel NFS related patches. Contributions are more than welcome. + +The NFS lock only works with lockd. Please make sure the portmapper, +portmap, is started before mounting NFS. + +Changes from knfsd 1.4.6: + +1. Fix a typo in knfslock.init. +2. A new kernel patch, nfsd-2.2.7-1.lock.patch, to fix some NFS lock + bugs. + +Changes from knfsd 1.4.5: + +1. Rename /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export to /var/lib/nfs/etab. + +Changes from knfsd 1.4.4: + +1. Try to fix mountd performance problem by introducing + /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export. That is + + a. "exportfs" reads from /var/lib/nfs/xtab and writes to + /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export. + b. "mountd" reads from /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export and writes to + /var/lib/nfs/xtab. + + The idea is "mountd" doesn't have to read /var/lib/nfs/xtab, which + is very expensive. + +Changes from knfsd 1.4.3: + +1. nfsd-2.2.7-nfsfh.patch, a new kernel patch for filehandle. +2. nfsd-2.2.7-2.lockd.patch, a new patch for lockd. +3.

Add knfslock.init. +4. knfsd-compat.spec is removed. +5. nfsd-2.2.7-lockd.patch, a patch to start lockd independent of + nfs and nfsd. + +Changes from knfsd 1.4.1: + +1.

It fixes quite some file lock bugs. That patch is against Linux +2.2.3. If your kernel is different, you have to apply it by hand. + +nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch is a new knfsd patch against linux 2.2.3 from +"G. Allen Morris III" (gam3@acm.org). It works for me on x86 and alpha. +It is needed for the none-Linux NFS clients. You can get Allen's +current patch from + +http://www.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU/~gam3/knfsd/ + +nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch is based on nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch for Linux 2.2.7. If +you use Linux 2.2.7, you should apply nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch instead of +nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch. Please don't use any other patches included here +for Linux 2.2.7. For other kernel versions, you may have to apply it +by hand. + +nfsd-2.2.7-2.lockd.patch is also necessary to start lockd independent +of nfs and nfsd. + +To compile, just do + +# ./configure +# make + +Makefile will try to determine which C library you are using and compile +this package accordingly. + +# make install + +will install the knfsd binaries. You have to install a knfs start up +script by hand. There is a new rc.nfsd in etc. I use it for both the +user-space nfsd and the kernel nfsd. + +There is one RPM spec file, knfs.spec, which is for a Linux system +based on Linux 2.2 without support for Linux 2.0. You also need +knfsd-1.4.6.tar.gz to create the knfsd RPMs. + +Thanks. + +H.J. +hjl@lucon.org +08/14/99 |
