Some in this list had asked about interactions between NFS & XFS,
so I decided to do a small test: compile a kernel over NFS.
In short, except for administrative issues (I have never configured
NFS on linux before), the actual compilation job went through fine.
The only odd message from NFS was this on the client side:
nfs_stat_to_errno: bad nfs status return value: 11
but it didn't seem to affect the compilation: the resultant kernel booted fine.
The server:
o 1 CPU 1GB exporting XFS SCSI Disk
o installed with XFS 0.9 CD
o running latest CVS kernel
The client:
o 2 CPU 64MB SCSI Disk
o installed with Redhat 6.2
o running latest CVS kernel
For compilation I used make -j6.
Hope this helps,
