Problems with NFS



Hello

I am using Dm355 DVEVM.  OpenSUSE v11 runs under VMware player as the host Linux worksation.
I have created NFS shared file system as it described in section 4,3 of the getting started guide.
Everything OK. The board successfully boots with NFS. I can run demos placed on the NFS shared directory
/opt/dvsdk/dm355.
Lately I have found out some directories (/dev /proc /sys /tmp) are not shared. Content of this directories is different
when i read then from host or from target.

Can you help me?

  • The directories you mention (/dev /proc /sys /tmp) are populated during run-time because they contain special files related to hardware or system resources.  These directories may already be populated on the host, but when Linux boots on the target, it will modify these directories as needed, and these changes will not be seen by the host.

    Here's one page containing a more general overview of the Linux file system: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_01.html.  Understanding these directories in their entirety is a fairly complex subject, and I can try to find some resources for you if you'd like to dive further into it.
