Check the HOWTO and FAQ (see http://nfs.sourceforge.net/). Common NFS locking problems are discussed there. > My first question is knfsd the same as the nfsd included in the > nfs-utils package? No. knfsd is the generic name for the kernel NFS daemons. They reside in kernel space. The nfsd and exportfs that included in the nfs-utils package are just user controls for those daemons. > Secondly If its not how do I go about using knfsd over the > stock nfsd? man nfsd > Sorry for these basic questions but the total lack of > information online is quite shocking. The NFS FAQ and HOWTO are both run by volunteers. If you think they are incomplete, then feel free to offer to help write better ones. Feel free too to browse the archives of this mailing list...
