This worked so far even if I wanted to try LVM :-(.

So I have to wait again for a kernel which fits my needs.

But all my hope for a working NFS vanished again.
Sorry, I'm loosing my nerves and I have to say:  I HATE, I REALLY HATE
BROKEN NFS!!!
(Sorry, it was necessary to calm down and I just report my ever and ever
coming up problem once more.)

# cat /etc/exports
/              wr-linux02(rw,no_root_squash)
/var           wr-linux02(rw,no_root_squash,nohide)
/usr           wr-linux02(rw,no_root_squash,nohide)
# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

I once fought hard to solve this problem on i386 plattform and now the
problem vanished there (more or less mysteriousely by moving some lines
in /etc/exports up and down), but I can not get access to the Sparc
machine via NFS since I use 2.4 kernel series.  With 2.2.18 all worked
fine with the very same /etc/exports.  I guess it depends from the
phase of the moon while compiling the kernel if you get a working NFS
or not.

Kind regards

       Andreas - out of hope to get NFS working ...
