This is the Linux kernel NFS daemon. It is based on linux-nfs 0.4.22.
It is tested on Linux/alpha and Linux/x86 running glibc 2.0.7.

You have to apply the patch, linux-2.1.1xx.diff, to the Linux kernel first. It fixes quite a few nfs bugs. That patch is against Linux 2.1.111. If your kernel is different, you have to apply it by hand.

There are many NFS changes in linux 2.1.120. NFS client and kernel daemon don't work in linux 2.1.120 for me. I am using linux 2.1.106 and 2.1.115 on x86, and linux 2.1.113 on alpha.

To compile, just do

# make

Makefile will try to determin 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.

The NFS lock is only tested with knfsd. If the NFS lock doesn't work for you, please try knfsd first before reporting it.

Thanks.
