[BusyBox] Problem to mount nfs-fs with bb-mount

[Torsten Keil]

Hi,

Thanks all, for your great work. Thanks in advance for any help.

Situation:
Package: busybox
Version: v0.50pre (CVS)
Arch: i386
Kernel: 2.2.19pre6
libc: libc6 libc-2.2.1

I don't had the Problem in earlier CVS-Versions of busybox, but I
don't know exactly the last version it funktion.


bb-mount:

/ # mount -t nfs 192.168.0.100:pub /mnt
NFS: cannot create RPC transport.
mount: Mounting 192.168.0.100:pub on /mnt failed: Invalid argument

/ # mount
/dev/ram0 on / type ext2 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)


mount (from my Debian (Woody)):

/ # mount -t nfs 192.168.0.100:pub /mnt
NFS: cannot create RPC transport.
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
portmap: too small RPC reply size (0 bytes)
portmap: too small RPC reply size (0 bytes)
lockd_up: make sock failed, error=-5
portmap: too small RPC reply size (0 bytes)

/ # mount
/dev/ram0 on / type ext2 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
192.168.0.100:pub on /mnt type nfs (rw,v2,addr=192.168.0.100)

/ # mount -V
mount: mount-2.10q


A second last minute problem, after last CVS-update:

While booting I get the following Error-message:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 64k freed
auto: Can't open auto

I changed only the new Config.h. Where is the mistake or is it a bug?

Thanks for spending your time.
