User space or kernel space nfs

Hi,

I'm just setting up my dns-323 and want to use NFS for my macs.  I've installed the basic fun_plug from:

http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.4-test/

I see there are two NFS varieties:
    unfs3-0.9.18            (user-space NFS daemon)
    nfs-utils-1.1.0         (kernel NFS daemon, needs kernel support!)

The 323 kernel does not have nfs support, correct?  I would have to go with unfs3.

Re: User space or kernel space nfs

Fonz,

Does the kernel need to be recompiled or just the nfs module against the current kernel?

Re: User space or kernel space nfs

you need to recompile the kernel. the nfs module is not enough (you can load it, but it will crash often)

Re: User space or kernel space nfs

Thanks for the response.  After a couple of days of wrestling with it I'm going back to SMB for now.  First, I couldn't get non-root users to write to the 323 via NFS.  I investigated the UID mismatch issue but couldn't get anywhere.  In addition, I tested copying a large video file via nfs and smb.  I was surprised to find nfs performing about half as well as smb -- granted, I didn't try tuning it.
