I have installed a CentOS-5.7 virtual machine in a KVM guest, installed OpenVZ in that guest properly then created a Debian VPS and NFS worked in the container. I checked
grep nfsd /proc/filesystem
from the container and it returned
I then installed nfs-kernel-server in the same container. I got a warning saying the nfsd module couldn't be loaded but I could at least start the nfsd service! Now the Debian container that runs in my KVM guest serves NFS requests.
So it looks like it is only an issue with my Gentoo installation on the hardware node.
Can anybody provide some help? Does the issue relate to the kernel or to vzctl? Will I have to reinstall the hardware node with CentOS?
