And try to share it. Hope this will solve your prob. as I faced the similar one when I tried to use nfs. > create and compile a kernel with options NFS on both machines then edit the file /etc/exports on the machine that needs to share the directory, and add the line : /usersdir -ro <ip of client> add the -ro to share read only. if read write then use -maproot=<uid>:<gid> after this do a killall -HUP mountd and then login to the client and type mount -t nfs <ip of server>:/userdir /mnt you can change /mnt in any other directory. this should be all you need to do to set up an NFS system.
