+WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.13 are not compatible with
other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an
NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should get the Linux NFS
kernel from the Linux NFS CVS server:
-1. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh.
+1. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh. It is not required
+for anonymous access.
+
2. Login to the Linux NFS CVS server:
-# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nfs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nfs login
without password if it is your first time.
a. From the NFS V2 branch:
-# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nfs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2
b. From the main trunk:
-# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co linux-2.2
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nfs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nfs co linux-2.2
4. If you don't want to use the current NFS kernel, you can find out
for which kernels the NFS patch is available:
# cd linux-2.2
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs status -v Makefile
+# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nfs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nfs status -v Makefile
Then generate the kernel patch:
-# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nfs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2
If there is no NFS patch for the kernel you are interested in, you have
to make a patch closest to your kernel version and apply it by hand.
