To add support for NFS over tcp to the latest RedHat 9 kernel, install the kernel-source-2.4.20-42.9.legacy rpm. In /usr/src/linux-2.4 copy from configs the .config file whose name best corresponds to the kernel you're running, such as, say, kernel-2.4.20-i686-smp.config. Do 'make xconfig', then within it --> filesystems --> network file systems, set NFS Server over TCP to "y", then save and exit (from the menu page). Edit the EXTRAVERSION of Makefile to indicate the new kernel's properties, such as '-42.9smpNFS-TCP'. Then build a new kernel with: make dep make bzImage (kernel now in /usr/src/linux-2.4/arch/i386/boot/bzImage) make modules make modules_install (This installs the modules to the /lib/modules directory, /lib/modules/2.4.20-42.9smpNFS-TCP) make install (this will copy your new kernel and its associated files into /boot and executes the /sbin/new-kernel-pkg script that builds a new initrd image and adds new entries to /boot/grub/grub.conf). Edit grub.conf so that the new kernel is default. Steven Yellin On Sun, 1 May 2005 akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > t looks to us that our redhat 9 server is only using udp to implement > nfs.
