Hi,

i think, the nfsd is = a kernel=20 mode daemon, while the mountd is a userspace daemon.

The mountd does the = initial=20 processing of the mount request, gets the file handle from the server = and then=20 sends it into the kernel by the nfsservctl interface.

As to, why the = mountd is=20 not in kernel space, IMHO, it might not have beeen qualified to be there = in the=20 kernel.

rgds,

Kedar.
