| This package contains a greatly revised NFS implementation for Linux |
| along with the necessary daemons and utilities. There are still several |
| features missing that I'd want to include, and there are some recent |
| improvements to the Linux NFS kernel client not reflected here (notably |
| the attrtimeo fix). |
| |
| This thing has become much too large for me to handle all alone anymore. |
| Originally, I had planned to have most of the NFS implementation running |
| stably by August, so I could start to concentrate more on other jobs that |
| are currently in the queue (like updating the NAG). As it turned out, it |
| was much more work than I anticipated, and I fell short of my time goal. |
| I'm therefore looking for volunteers who would like to work with me on |
| finishing this package. Otherwise, this project could end up rusting in |
| the corner of some FTP site... |
| |
| Ideally, I would want to hand over parts of the source tree to other |
| hackers to maintain/enhance/etc. But that's not a requirement; if you |
| feel you don't have that much time, you can also contribute by picking |
| up one of the loose ends and finish what needs to be done (take a look |
| at the TODO file...) And then, you can also be plainly a tester. |
| |
| There's currently a mailing list for lockd development at NRAO |
| (lockd-statd@linux.nrao.edu --- mail majordomo@linux.nrao.edu to |
| subscribe). If Jeff agress, we could turn this into a general linux-nfs |
| mailing list. |

| |
| Hope this covers about what I wanted to say, |
| Olaf |
