Hi Alan, Dave, Trond, etal,
One thing to try and do is have some very clear documentation in the
kernel distribution about what is different with the new NFS code vs
the old one.
Making sure that lines are drawn between the old user space code,
current kernel NFS and the good work Dave, Trond etal have been doing
on a solid codebase.
If there isn't such a document, adding a note in the docs directory
(and configure time help) about sourceforge, FAQ and the mailing list
would be a good start. (A file called 'nfs.txt' would be great :)
A few cheep comments from someone who's been trying to follow the NFS
work in his spare time and still remembers the time he started trying
to differentiate the various patches, options and codesets... Not sure
I have it clearly defined enough to make a stab at the document
myself.
Best regards,
Mark
