I had this running beautifully on ReHad 6.1 and FreeBSD 3.2 before I moved my own box from RedHat to FreeBSD. --cokane Thomas Keusch had the audacity to say: > Hello, > > does anybody happen to be running NFS between FreeBSD und Linux > successfully and painless? > > I've got FreeBSD 3.4S cvsupped xmas or one, maybe two days after, > running as NFS server, while my Linux v2.2.14 box is the client. > > On Linux, I mount stuff like this: > > $ mount -t nfs -o ro,noauto,user,tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr \ > darkstar:/storage /tmp/storage.darkstar > > On the FreeBSD side of the universe, I've got this in /etc/rc.conf: > > $ grep -e nfs -e mount /etc/rc.conf > nfs_server_enable="YES" > nfs_server_flags="-t -n 4" > mountd_flags="-2 -r" > > Ok, so if I get things right, which I think (hopefully) I do, this means > that Linux mounts NFS filesystems via TCP/IP, the FreeBSD server forces > NFS v2 via the "-2" switch given to mountd and the 4 nfsd only serve > stuff via TCP/IP ("-t" argument). > > But, stressing my home LAN a little bit the last few days, it happened > to me three times already that the server simply stops serving the fs > (or NFS in general, I didn't check before restarting stuff :-( ), > while it stays perfectly functional in all other ways I can think of. > Ok, it may be that no new/further NFS exported fs may be mounted by > remote machines, I don't know yet, but I can get you current if asked > to.
