NAS storage for vmware 3.0.1

Having problem connecting and access DNS-323 from VI 3.0.1 using fonz's fun_plug 0.3 and unfs3, getting errors while browse the storage: "Function not implemented".

I can manually mount the NFS share from console using mount -f nfs command and see the files no problem though.  Does anyone have suggestion?

Just guess that unfs3-0.9.17 features may not be enable or support but requires by vmware.  Don't mind recompile the unfs myself if anyone knows what NFS feature should be enable during compile.

TIA.

Re: NAS storage for vmware 3.0.1

I thought I was gonna do some experiment myself so I download the latest unfs3 0.9.18 source code and compiled on my linux box, and guest what?  same thing happened, it still doesn't work.  I can manually mount the nfs share from VM console and browse the file no problem, but not from
VI GUI.

The NFS package come with my Fedora 5 works perfectly fine.  So I guess unfs3 is missing some key components or feature that vmware needs.

Can anyone suggest alternative NFS package that can be ported and compile under ARM-linux?

There's the user-space-nfs-server (or similar) from Debian. But it's NFSv2 only (doesn't support large files, afaik).
Then, there's, of course, kernel-nfs. The firmware kernels don't support kernel-nfs, but it's possible (not easy, though) to compile your own kernel.

As far as ESX concern, it requires NFSv3.

Well say, "not easy".  My best bet will probably get it run under my linux using NFS or iSCSI will be lot easier.

Thanks.
