I decided it wasn't worth booting these from NFS, especially since it was such a pain in the ass to get the compiled files off the machine I built them on. It's a Hyper-V Ubuntu install and for some reason Hyper-V only lets you access USB files when you RDP in, not when you connect locally to the VM. And then it bitched about my NFS share, which Lubuntu didn't so I said fuck you! That's why I use Debian, I can't fucking stand Ubuntu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

NFS can be a pain to set up. Once it's up though I find it is very reliable, and considerably faster than afp and samba. [debian-based] Ubuntu is generally speaking better documented, and has a whole lot more software available than debian (though I actually prefer older releases). YMMV :-{) ---- Hippie beards yes.

I usually don't have issues mounting a share, but I was trying to boot. Turns out I had to build a new kernel with nfs enabled... screw that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone. Nobody force you to eat it.

You had to compile the kernel with nfs for odroid or for ubuntu? OIC (I guess). You wanted to netboot ubuntu on odroid hardware over nfs? ---- Hippie beards yes. Hipster beards no.

If I knew what in blazes you were talking about, I'd have helped for sure. I can get printers to work, fix sound and video issues - but NFS troubles you must do on your own.

If you need to boot from a drive that has no OS on it, I can even help you with that. Wait, what?

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Well at one point I'm pretty sure that's what I was trying to accomplish. It didn't go so well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone. Nobody force you to eat it.

No, I got pissed and decided to do it the old fashioned way by booting of the micro SD cards. I just thought it would be nice to use NFS because I will have 25 of these running screens throughout the facility, but it really doesn't matter. Just set one up and image the cards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone. Nobody force you to eat it.
