To: nfs@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: NFSv3 client: Patches for 2.3.42 ready (and tested!)... From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Date: 08 Feb 2000 21:17:36 +0100 Hi again, The Linux-CVS linux-2.3 tree has been updated with the latest NFSv3 client patches. For once, I was able to cajole the Eepro100 driver into working with only the odd TX timeout error, and so was able to test the NFS client out a bit. Stability seems very good. The kernel passed both 'iozone' and the 'make -j8 bzImage' tests over NFSv3 with flying colours. I haven't tried out the large file support, although the patches include support for >2Gb files under NFSv3. There are also patches included for >2Gb NLM4 locking support. Now I need to make a decent set of incremental patches for Linus out of this. Volunteers? ;-)... Cheers, Trond -------------------- NB: You may either pick up the patched kernel directly from the CVS repository on cvs.nfs.sourceforge.net. See the info on http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=14 and http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=14 for how to check out the kernel using anonymous CVS. The modulename for the linux-2.3.x kernels is 'linux-2.3'. Alternatively, a set of patches are available on http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/linux-2.3.42-nfsv3.dif.bz2 Again, please note that in order to mount NFSv3 partitions, you will need a special version of the 'mount' utility. Patches + RPMS may be found under http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/nfsv3-mount - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
