Hi Jon,

I tried to use the attached src RPM and failed.
First, it did not compile on SLES10SP2 - missing TAILQ_EMPTY definition.
Then, I compiled it on RH5.1 and tried to mount. I got this:

# mount.rnfs 192.168.8.160:/ /mnt -o port=2050 -v
mount.rnfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.8.160' failed: RPC Error: Success

And nothing was mounted.

Besides that, there are problems with nfs-rdma kernel part on the distros:
1. The install.pl script part which checks nfsrdma availability on distor's is 
commented out.
2. On rh5.1 nfs.ko module cannot be loaded because of missing symbols

Hey Vlad,
I have a working SRPM for nfs-utils.  There is a fairly large design
decision I made, that I wanted to make you aware of before you pull this
in.  The nfs-utils RPM has some things that are very specific to each
distro.  Specifically, the init scripts to start/stop the nfs daemon.
I chose to work around this issue by only installing the mount part
necessary for mounting RDMA NFS connections, and naming it mount.rnfs.
This prevents any collisions with the existing nfs-utils, and thus the
same init scripts are still there with the original nfs-utils RPM.  This
is VERY similar to what Tom Tucker did for the OFED 1.2 backport.

Per your instructions I have created the diffs to add support for the
modified nfs-utils.  I have attached the files necessary to this e-mail.
Let me know if there are any problems.

Thanks,
Jon
