9/20    Is it possible to run have a linux box export files via NFS over
        ssh tunnels?  I tried doing this by tunneling the ports that
        nfsd uses but it didn't work.  Any suggestions on how to do this
        or the equivalent?  Thanks.
        \_ only if you either forward a ton of ports and replace alot of
           rpc stuff.. here's a starter, but remember that you will take
           a performance hit -shac

           \_ Thanks, I take a look at this.
        \_ are you using nfs via udp or tcp?
           \_ I tried it with both udp and tcp ports without success.
        \_ You made tunnels in both directions?
           \_ Why both directions?  I just tunnelled the relevant daemons.
        \_ just tunnel IP over ssh and make life easier
           \_ What do you mean "tunnel IP over ssh"?  Is this a joke?

SNFS has been tested on Linux i386 and alpha 21164/21264 platforms under RedHat 71-90 It is also known to work under HPUX, FreeBSD, and Solaris. On a high-end workstation, tunneling of large files results in only a slight degradation in speed eg. There is also a Troubleshooting FAQ , where you can look up error messages that result from common misconfigurations. Solaris have a mount command that unfortunately lacks the nfsprog and mountprog options. It is still possible to use SNFS to tunnel all of your NFS traffic through a single tunnel to a remote machine. Christian Mller Old versions visitors have accessed this page since May 10, 2001.
