I'm not familiar with nfsiod(was it?),
but I think, that this NFS run in kernel mode and
uses kernel malloc(9) memory for caching. And kernel
memory is quite different from user space memory ... Correct me,
if I'm wrong.
Even if it worked, you will possibly get REAL problems due to
synchronisation problems. If your client machines are Linux, Solaris
or (;-)) FreeBSD, you can setup CODA from the ports collection, it's
much more suitable for this.
