14.3.31. Using NFSv3 for NFS Root Filesystem
- Question:
- My NFS server only allows the protocol in version 3. Even though my kernel
has "NFS client support for NFS version 3" compiled in, I cannot use
this as a root filesystem. The boot process stops like this:
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.0.0.136 Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 10.0.0.136 Root-NFS: Server returned error -22 while mounting /opt/eldk/ppc_6xx VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(2,0)
- Answer:
- In addition to the kernel support, you need to specify the "nfsvers=3" option
to use NFS protocol version 3 as a rootfilesystem. So include something like the
following in your kernel commandline:
nfsroot=[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>,nfsvers=3
