Hi,
I currently mount my DNS323 using NFS from my Linux box.
I use unfs on the DNS side, so simple to start.
For performance purpose (am I right to expect the kernel level server to be faster?), I wanted to give nfsd a try (but without installing Debian, I feel a bit lazy about this).
I downloaded the kernel modules from dev.skcserver.de, I was able to modprobe nfsd.ko, and then tried a "sh /ffp/start/nfs.sh start".
Then things did not look as good as usual: 3 processes (rpc.portmapd, rpc.[don't remember], and mountd) were started, but no nfsd process.
Is ther something I missed? As anybody here done this (nfsd over fun_plug using kernel module, and without installing Debian)?
Thanks...

Yes. I'm running kernel-nfs on my DNS-323. I flashed a new kernel with NFS enabled. I tried the kernel modules, but they always crashed my box within a few minutes.

Thanx Fonz.
Is there a place where this kernel is available?
And a place with the instructions to do this flashing? -- not 100% sure I will attempt this, but at least I may have a look at how it is done.

Yeah! I would also like to flash this kernel! Can you make it available?

I tested this again, I wanted to understand why, even with nfsd.ko (and exportfs.ko) loaded, rpc.nfsd did not launch.
I found out that it dies with the message: "nfssvc: function not implemented"
This seems to be characteristic of a kernel not supporting nfs. So what is the use of nfsd.ko? Is there some other module that should be loaded in order to have nfs support, or is there something that should be compulsorily in the main kernel, and which is not present in the standard DNS kernel?
Anyway, if fonz is willing to give it publicly, I am always interested by the NFS enabled kernel that we talked about in the previous posts.
