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 ------------------------------------------------------------------ SOURCE TREE OVERVIEW support/ Support libraries for user-space programs support/nfs Generic library for nfsd utilities support/export Manipulation of /etc/exports and /var/lib/nfs/{xtab,rmtab} utils/ Code for various user-space programs. utils/exportfs Management of nfsd export table. utils/mount Modified mount command to support NFS over TCP. utils/mountd New rpc.mountd for kernel nfsd. utils/nfsd New nfsd (just starts kernel nfsd). utils/nfsstat Pretty-print NFS stats from /proc/net/rpc/nfs* utils/rquotad Marco van Wieringen's rquotad utils/showmount Rick Sladkey's showmount client utils/statd Jeff Uphoff's rpc.statd. tools/ Support tools for developers/debuggers/testers tools/rpcdebug This one sets/gets the debug flags for each of the kernel modules.
