Re: [microblaze-uclinux] nfs mount
Hi,
well, no, it is not even possible to mount an nfs shared directory via another pc on the network. so the problem comes from my host configs I guess! I am quit stuck about this, does anyone know if this may come from the busy box version being too old? I saw on the internet someone having same errors as mine saying that it may be due to an old busy box version. Can I upgrade the busy box used in the kernel config?! If so, how can this be done?
Martin, please what configurations did you add to the kernel to be able to use /var as a temporary storage area?

As an alternative (which I agree is not as tidy as NFS), I'm using /var/ as a
temp storage area for binaries under development, which is RAM-based,
and FTP to push them there from my dev workstation. I keep meaning to
look into using rsync for this... one day :)
Cheers,
Martin
