Nfs Client On Pineapple

[darkside40]

Has anybody already managed running a NFS Client on the Pineapple.

I alreasdy tried installing the suitable packages from the OpenWRT repos, but i am not able to load the nfs kernel modules.

I have not included the modules in the kernel.

It is something I should look into.

Best,

I try to solve my RAM issues by mounting a swap file via NFS.

But i cant load the NFS module, in dmesg i always get a bunch of failure when i try.

At least now i managed to enable cifs on the Pineapple, for a test it makes no difference to use NFS or Cifs.

Edit:

Okay, trying to mount a SMB Share leads to (what du you think), a crash. Fon reboots.

Edit2:

Okay digging deeper and deeper. Seems that the URLSnarf issue is not completely memory related. OC'ing the Fon to 200MHz lets him survive a URLSnarf start even longer.

Would be great if you could include a working NFS client in the next Version. swap over nfs could be a goo solution to extend the memory of the Pineapple and to store things like logs etc. which would else vanish after a reboot.

Hi Sebkinne,

could you please tell me if configfs is build into the Pineapple Kernel, i just hooked up a old MMC to the GPIO's of the Fon, but cant start it because configfs seems missing and there is no Kernel Module for it in the OpenWRT Repo.

Just for fun i just tried the OpenWRT trunk, there ConfigFS is activated, so in know my old MiniSD works ;)

Also NFS works with the newest OpenWRT.

Only thing which is not activated in the trunk Kernel is: SWAP
