I think it is fantastic that Rick is doing all this work in our NFS code. Unfortunately, for this kind of stuff, in order to uncover the interop issues and edge cases, it is better to make this the default sooner, rather than later. The people with the production setups where you uncover these kinds of issues don't run the tip of CURRENT usually.... One thing to consider: if we could provide a bootable virtual machine with the new NFS code to some of the storage vendors like EMC/Isilon, Netapp, etc. it might be nice to get some feedback. People are always busy, but if we make the effort to make things easier to try out and test, that is always a good thing. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc_at_crodrigues.orgReceived on Wed Apr 27 2011 - 22:34:42 UTC
