a wild guess but you are not using the kernel nfsd package are you? Package: nfs-server Priority: standard Section: net Installed-Size: 260 Maintainer: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.2beta47-4potato.2 Replaces: netstd Depends: netbase, nfs-common, libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libwrap0 Suggests: ugidd Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/net/nfs-server_2.2beta47-4potato.2.deb Size: 97022 MD5sum: 1b77e03e0edba253754a5df0a888bd5a Description: User space NFS server. This package contains all necessary programs to make your Linux machine act as an NFS server, being an NFS daemon (rpc.nfsd), a mount daemon (rpc.mountd). . Unlike other NFS daemons, this NFS server runs entirely in user space. This makes it a tad slower than other NFS implementations, and also introduces some awkwardnesses in the semantics (for instance, moving a file to a different directory will render its file handle invalid). Package: nfs-kernel-server Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 188 Maintainer: Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: nfs-utils Version: 1:0.1.9.1-1 Replaces: knfs, nfs-server Provides: knfs, nfs-server Depends: nfs-common (>= 1:0.1.5), libc6 (>= 2.1.2) Conflicts: knfs, nfs-server Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/net/nfs-kernel-server_0.1.9.1-1.deb Size: 52108 MD5sum: 4bc47919b5e74950a322cfc9b763c84a Description: Kernel NFS server support Use this package if you have a fairly recent kernel (2.2.13 or better) and you want to use the kernel-mode NFS server. The user-mode NFS server in the "nfs-server" package is slower but more featureful and easier to debug than the kernel-mode server. . Upstream: SourceForge project "nfs", CVS module nfs-utils. one thing is you could be attempting to run the kernel mode nfs server without having kernel support compiled in (or loaded via module if its capable of being loaded via modules). run dpkg -l | grep nfs to see which you have .. my personal experience is that the user space nfs is much more reliable then the kernel space(only have used the kernel space on prebuild redhat boxes though) kernel space servers are great if you never have to reconfigure but i've found every single time i tried to reconfigure a kernel nfsd(changing /etc/exports) required a reboot for knfsd to restart properly. maybe it's a problem specific to redhat, im not sure as any system i build always gets the userspace nfs. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
