|
|
Hi All.
I've had Gentoo happily running as a VM server for the past year, but I now need NFS client functionality (which I didn't compile in when I installed the machine).
Is there an easy way to compile the module in without having to restart everything? (It hosts several of our key servers).
vm2 fs # uname -a
Linux vm2 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #2 SMP Wed Oct 8 19:19:47 GMT 2008 i686 Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2212 HE AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
TIA

I believe if you add the nfs support as a module and do it to the same kernel version, you can just modprobe it after compile without restarting and it should work fine.
You still will need to copy the recompiled kernel to /boot though for the next reboot |

I did wonder if I'd be safe to do that. Seems to have done the trick (apart from some portage errors with the nfs-utils but I'll sort that).
Thanks! |
