Re: [Xen-users] NFS problem under domU

["Gino LV. Ledesma" <gledesma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, so I take it you don't _need_ NFS4? :-)

I was assuming this since your error logs and the messages you were
pointing to mentioned NFS4. If NFS support is all you need, then just
compile in the regular NFSv2/NFSv3 support into your kernel.

Now as mentioned in the links you placed, Fedora Core 4 comes with
NFSv4 support, and the init scripts assume you have the NFSv4 module.
You have two options to make Fedora Core 4 happy:

1. Compile NFSv4 support as a module -- OR --
2. Modify the init scripts so that it doesn't load the NFSv4 stuff
(there's a number of them)
