Unpatched 2.2.12?! I'm surprised it works at all.

Yes, all the patches as described in the README/INSTALL. Some are for
2.2.7 but apply clean, some are newer. The names are a bit confusing, but
give them a try.
Without the patches knfsd is not supposed to work!

Yes - nfsd is the kernel thread that runs on the code in the nfsd module.
Better put: you load the module and the kernel will spin some threads
providing the service.
You must recompile the kernel and modules after patching, and reboot. It's
worth it.

Thanks a lot...
I have redhat 6.1 and I feel that it is already patched ..
I tried a diff between it and lernel2.2.12 and in the code there is already some difference (maybe the nfs patches and more.)
But I really don't understand yet :
-- the kernel nfsd (module) have something in common with the knfsd (rpc.mountd ) that you compile with the knfsd 1.5.2 ?
Thanks
