If you need a good testbed, we've got one for you here, I think. Albeit
only having about a thousand users, we have an NFS setup involving
NFS-servers running Solaris 8 (for the home-disks) Solaris 2.6 (for the
scratch-partition), AIX v4.3.1 (for our program-sources and
security-related information/distribution) and Linux Debian Gnu/Linux
(for our jukebox playing MP3's in our computer-lab) and we can set up an
Irix NFS-server too, if such tests are needed.
Client-wise we have Irix, AIX, Solaris (2.6 and 8, and some older
SunOS-release which I can't remember), Irix (several releases), Linux,
and, if such tests are requested, we actually have got a NeXTcube running
NeXTstep...
We've tried v2.2.15 + some set of NFSv3 patches we found (can't remember
which one), on our Web-server (http://www.acc.umu.se), but we had to
revert to NFSv2, as the server simply hung otherwise. It didn't oops or
crash, it just hung, remaining pingable but nothing else.
