I strongly recommend that you not do this, at least not unless you want to take on a man month (or two!) worth of work & debugging! In fact, I would recommend that the NFS subsystem be left alone as much as possible until -current is far more stable then it is. NFS issues tend to be subtle, and unless you've been staring at the code for a year you are likely to introduce more bugs then you fix. There's a reason why I (Mr 'rewrite everything' Dillon) haven't touched them. Concentrate on making the general network stack (aka TCP) and filesystems SMP aware. Leave NFS alone for now. Please. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
