3. For the 5th step (Start nfsd), I'd like to know the rpc.nfsd --vsock is
enabled by which codes? Is it the CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK kernel module in host?
Because I installed the kernel with vsock-nfs repo with the specified config
options but failed to do rpc.nfsd --vsock.
Could you give me some help and thanks in advance!
Here is a script that launches nfsd and runs a guest:
https://github.com/stefanha/linux/commit/38cbc15661a6dd44b69c4f318091f2047d707035#diff-05f3fe8941076453942a8c059b409009
I have updated both host and guest kernel with vsock-nfsd repo and
installed nfs-utils in both host and guest successfully.
There're two different manuals in
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg64563.html(Quickstart 3~7)
and nfs-utils (README step 3 DAEMON STARTUP ORDER).
Which one should be the best usage?
For the first quickstart manual step 7-Mount the export from the guest,
two questions as follows.
1. why hypervisor's CID is 2? I didn't notice when it is specified?
2. Though I did step 3~7 successfully, I can't see the synchronistical
changing on host folder /export/ and guest /mnt? So how to test the
communcation between host and guest on the folder?
Thanks again!

Regarding rpc.nfsd, on my Fedora 27 system rfc.nfsd is launched by
/usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs.service. When developing NFS over AF_VSOCK
I disable the NFS service and launch nfsd manually from the script
above.
