NFS Server Configuration
You must export the filesystem with the following parameters:
/nfsroot *(rw,fsid=0,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
Kernel Configuration
Below are the kernel arguments used for mounting an NFS root filesystem
example:
root=/dev/nfs ip=10.99.99.2:10.99.99.1::255.255.255.252::usb0:off nfsroot=/nfsroot
The parameters for the ip
argument are as follows:
- Host IP Address (
10.99.99.2
) - NFS Server IP (
10.99.99.1
) - Gateway IP (none)
- Netmask (
255.255.255.252
or/30
) - Hostname (none)
- Interface (
usb0
) - Auto IP configure / DHCP after boot (
off
)
Debugging
NFS root filesystems always seem to be fiddly to get setup.
There is an option 'nfsrootdebug
' that prints out debug messages, for example:
