killzone Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hey I'm looking to set up an NFS. Not finding too much useful out there for tutorials. I have an old gateway 1.8 P4 with 2 300 gb hard drives and 512MB ram. It's connected to a Linksys router (switch). Its got a bare bones version of XP running on it now, but I can install a linux distro on it. ->Looking for an easy to impliment solution that will allow multiple Os's to be able to access the NFS. ->Also looking for some instruction on configureing the NFS itself. Any help would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I still don't think your computer has 512KB of RAM. I realy dought windows XP will run on that (it might). Perhaps you mean 512MB of RAM. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/index.html I had to use TCP rather than UDP to get any performance over it. Also, it seems NFSv4 just isn't ready yet. Stick with v3 for the time being. I've got a server running here with NFS, so if you run into issues there's a fair chance I can help.
