Great! In case you'd like to grab the patches before dave/trond/neil
can see your mail, there are three parts you should get and apply, in
this order.
1. Trond's client patches.
Current version is
<http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/linux-2.2.15-nfsv3-0.20.11.dif.bz2>
It applies almost perfectly to 2.2.16pre5. There's one hunk that
fails in fs/nfs/inode.c. I've appended a replacement hunk.
2. Dave's merge of everything else -- v3 server, nlm4, etc.
It's on SourceForge. Here's a URL for the tarball:
<http://download.sourceforge.net/nfs/kernel-nfs-dhiggen_merge-2.0.gz>
3. My tiny contribution: A cosmetic tweak to the configuration.
I've appended it.
Here's the replacement hunk for Trond's patch with 2.2.16pre5.
