Hi,

I just made knfsd-980910. It is available from

ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/gcc

FYI, ftp.yggdrasil.com may not be resolved until tomorrow. In the
meantime, you can use its IP address, 209.249.10.20.

Thanks.

H.J.

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.

nfsd-patch-2.1.121 is another knfsd patch against linux 2.1.121 by "G. Allen Morris III" <gam3@gam3.sehda.com>. It works for me on x86 and alpha.

To compile, just do

# 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.

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.
