Hi everybody!
I'm wondering if it's possible to run in a "clear fashion" an NFS server
within a jail on FreeBSD 9.0.

I'm having some issues that make me think this is not supposed to work.
I've googled it but I couldn't find much especially on releases prior
5!!

A quick tip would be great .... I don't really wanna waste hours on this
not very relevant issue.

Many thanks in advance.


Quick answer is "No, NFS only runs on the host system".

Long answer is; NFS requires rpcbind to function. rpcbind is dependent on a network stack. Jails do not have their own network stack, they use the hosts network stack. There is some experimental software to give each jail its own network stack but I sure would not deploy a production system based on this.
