Subject: [NFS] New version of Linux NFSv3 client is out...


Hello,

  I've put up a new version of the Linux NFSv3 client in the
usual place. Please find it as

  http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/linux-2.2.14-nfsv3-0.16.11.dif.bz2

or

  http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/linux-2.2.14-nfsv3.dif.bz2

  I will commit these changes to the LinuxNFS CVS repository
ASAP. Please bear with me...


  A few changes have been made to these patches that it is perhaps
worth mentioning in this mailing:

  - Fixes to sunrpc code following suggestions by Alexey Kuznetsov

  - Fixes to dircache both to improve stability, and in order to
    comply with connectathon 99 `telldir' test.

  - Fixes to NFSv3 code to allow for servers which return incomplete
    attribute etc information in NFS3PROC_READ, NFS3PROC_READDIR, and
    NFS3PROC_READLINK. All these functions require the iovec data to
    be shifted if servers decide to return short header info.

The NFSv3 client patches provide a full NFSv3 client with NLM4 locking
manager. Please note that these patches do NOT provide the knfsd
server with NFSv3 capabilities.

Please note that in order to mount NFSv3 partitions, you will need to
pick up a modified version of the `mount' program. Patches, and RPMS
for the latter may be found in
   http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/nfsv3-mount

Cheers,
  Trond
