Mounting root file system via NFS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, 

I'm remote booting a Linux kernel, which then mounts its kernel via NFS.  Everything is working fine if I specify the NFS path in the DCHP configuration file using the following root-path option, 

"192.10.11.206:/home/remoteclients/client1";

However, specifying the NFS path in the following way does not work,

"LinuxRootServer:/home/remoteclients/client1";

or 

"LinuxRootServer.testdomain.co.uk:/home/remoteclients/client1";

i.e. replacing the root servers IP address with its domain name

In this case the client kernel does not resolve the domain name, however, typing "host linuxrootserver" at the client prompt (after booting with the IP address) does resolve the name and the correct IP address is returned.

I'm using "isc-dhcpd-V3.0pl1" as the DHCP server and kernel version "2.4.22"

What am I missing? 

Cheers,

Simon.
