Hello,

 

I want to develop a server with a loopback client talking to in-kernel NFS
server. I know the SFS server is implemented in this way but I don't need
all the self-certify functions there.

 

What I want to implement is as this. The server receives RPC calls (my own
RPC) from connected clients. Then, these RPC calls are translated to NFS RPC
calls, which are used by the loopback client to talk to the in-kernel NFS
server.

 

Can anyone tell me the basic steps to setup such a loopback client using
libarp. I am guessing I need to use asrv object but not sure at all.

 

Thanks a lot!
