I find that I have a need for NFS version 2 support. I was hoping to
allow field techs to do network installs of NCR MP-RAS (its an old 386
UNIX -- looks like old SCO stuff to me).
MP-RAS uses NFS version 3 by default, but the installer uses version 2!
I have some HP gear here, and HPUX 11i still supports NFS version 2, so
these network based installs can be done in our lab setting, but I
REALLY wanted to be able to do these installs in the field from a Fedora
Core 2 based laptop.
Yes, I am working on a project to port our code to Linux, but that may
take a year or so. And yes, it may be possible for us to run the old
SYSV elf binaries under linux, but I haven't been able to figure that
out yet. :)
I have searched for references to NFS version 2 for Linux, but I cannot
see where it was dropped, or how to add it back.
Or even if ...
Any pointers are most welcomed!
