nfs directory was not umounted when the installed system reboot?
I used nfs to install the base system. After having the installed
system rebooted via the `reboot the system' option I still had a line
with the installed system in the server's /var/lib/nfs/rmtab file.
Does that mean that the nfs server still consider the client to be
using the previously mounted directory? I also get `device is busy'
when trying to umount the server fs though there seem to be no process
that is actually using this fs other then nfsd.
Some more reasons to be sceptic about this report are:
(1) I am new to nfs.
(2) I replaced the kernel and modules of the 2.2r0 boot floppies with
the ones from woody boot floppies. Other then that I was installing
2.2r0.
(3) When I have tried to use the menu in order to configure the drivers
I did not get the list of modules. The only option that I was offered
was to exit. Therefore I got the modules loaded by doing a manual
insmod from the 2nd vt. One reason that this is bad is that I do not
know the dependencies of the nfs module. I was satisfied by seeing that
nfs is working after insmoding the sunrpc and nfs modules. I am not
sure but it could be that I insmod the lockd module as well. I also
manually insmoded the required modules for the Ethernet card.
(4) I believe that with woody installation one get 2 modules loaded
automatically. Yet when I changed to the 2nd vt during the installation
process I could not see that these modules are installed. Therefore I
also insmod manually the unix module. I did not remember the name of
the other module and did not bother to find it since the installation
seemed to work properly.
