2.6.11-rc3-mm2: broken NFS ?

2005-03-03 Thread J.A. Magallon
Hi... I have a problem with nfs. It always worked, so I don't know what is failing now. I have a server running 2.6.11-rc3-mm2. I try to export a dir via nfs: /etc/exports: /raid belly.cps.unizar.es(ro,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) nada:/proc/fs/nfs# exportfs -v

main drawback is that even if nobody listens, a message is send. I don't know how to avoid that. I added an option (FORK_CONNECTOR) to enable the fork connector (or disable) when compiling the kernel. To work, connector must be compiled as built-in (CONFIG_CONNECTOR=y). It has been tested on a 2.6.
