2 This package contains a greatly revised NFS implementation for Linux
3 along with the necessary daemons and utilities. There are still several
4 features missing that I'd want to include, and there are some recent
5 improvements to the Linux NFS kernel client not reflected here (notably
8 This thing has become much too large for me to handle all alone anymore.
9 Originally, I had planned to have most of the NFS implementation running
10 stably by August, so I could start to concentrate more on other jobs that
11 are currently in the queue (like updating the NAG). As it turned out, it
12 was much more work than I anticipated, and I fell short of my time goal.
13 I'm therefore looking for volunteers who would like to work with me on
14 finishing this package. Otherwise, this project could end up rusting in
15 the corner of some FTP site...
17 Ideally, I would want to hand over parts of the source tree to other
18 hackers to maintain/enhance/etc. But that's not a requirement; if you
19 feel you don't have that much time, you can also contribute by picking
20 up one of the loose ends and finish what needs to be done (take a look
21 at the TODO file...) And then, you can also be plainly a tester.
23 There's currently a mailing list for lockd development at NRAO
24 (lockd-statd@linux.nrao.edu --- mail majordomo@linux.nrao.edu to
25 subscribe). If Jeff agress, we could turn this into a general linux-nfs
