Hi Mathieu!

I’d like to ask you to apply my patch. It paves the way for using nfs-shares
inside virtual machines, which is not possible today. This is certainly a good
impovement.
The patch also fixes the nfs-root test. It would certainly work, if networking
in qemu during the bootup works and if the two virtual machines are able to
communicate via IP to each other.
It woud be sufficient to comment out the nfs-root test or even only the client
part of it. But please don’t throw it away!
If either the kernel or the initrd will be changed to support networking in
qemu, then this test needs possibly only small adjustments to start working.
For the networking part at bootup it is enough to add CONFIG_E1000 when
building linux-libre. Is that an acceptable change? If so then I could give it
another try.
Bye
Stefan

I turned the nfs-root-fs test into an nfs-full test that is based on
your patch. It spawns a VM with an NFS server and another VM that mounts
it.
It should now be possible to reintroduce an nfs-root-fs test so that the
client VM uses an NFS as its root directory.
Thanks,
Mathieu
