Re: [Ltib] NFS Server on Target

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Todd,

I don't have much time to answer, but basically you need to start nfsd
and portmap to get nfs server to work.  You should be using kernel NFS
(I think you are?).

Take a look at a Fedora/Redhat /etc/init.d/nfsd startup script to get
some ideas.

Regards, Stuart
