i am running a number of systems which use an nfs for their / fs. my question is if there is a setting i can change, or a syntax i can use, to automatically start a new server as a new client boots. more than being lazy, clients are added as i generate funding so i would much prefer to be able to allow the server to handle things dynamically. my /etc/conf.d/nfs:

it seems i may have been mistaken  so let me start over.
as i said, i run an nfs to provide a / fs to multiple (identical) clients. this has worked perfectly for the first 9 clients (only 8 actually run, the 9th is an install server). however, every client beyond 9 i have installed seems to install properly, and contains the appropriate files on inspection, but cannot mount its fs and, hence, fails to boot with the annoyingly simple | Quote: | | error loading operating system |
i had thought this was due to the nfs not running enough threads, but i upped that to 15 and still no dice. does anyone see anything that might suggest a cause? my /etc/conf.d/nfs is the same as above but substitute 15 for 8. thanks. |
