You could build it in but I normally build it as a module. The startup script assumes it's a module and probes it: fedora# grep blocklayoutdriver /etc/init.d/blkmapd modprobe -q blocklayoutdriver fedora# Right now the nfs-utils rpm doesn't install the startup script. I'll fix this but for now just copy it from the source: cp nfs-utils/utils/blkmapd/etc/initd/initd.redhat /etc/init.d/blkmapd chmod +x /etc/init.d/blkmapd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
