The kernel-space NFS server isn't available in the vservers for obvious
reasons. So I suggest to use the kernel-space nfs server in the root server.
Mounting directories from the root server into a vserver running on the
same physical machine can be done by using the bind feature. So a
network file system isn't necessary. Just add the following line to
/etc/vservers/<vserver-name>/fstab:
<root servers dir path> <vservers mount point path> none bind,rw 0 0
e.g.
/home /home none bind,rw 0 0
Remote directories are mounted into the each vserver which needs access
using nfs. This is done by adding the following line to
/etc/vservers/<vserver-name>/fstab.remote:
<nfs server>:<path> <vservers mount point path> nfs defaults,rw 0 0
e.g.
192.168.0.1:/home /home nfs defaults,rw 0 0
Ciao
Tim
