Strange. I'm running plain 2.2.18pre on PCs, SPARC and Alpha, it works fine
with Solaris NFS (as client and server) AFAIS. Machines run either up to
date RH 6.2 or a mildly hacked version thereof. So far I haven't seen the
dire consecuences of NFS on Linux that are supposed to make people leave in
droves... I'd suspect they leave because NFS the protocol (or their setup)
is broken, and blame the system. Sure, NFSv3 would mitigate some problems
here, but nothing mission-critical for me at least.
OTOH, 2.4.0-test NFS doesn't work for me: Can mount fine from Solaris,
exporting to Solaris or 2.2.18pre just doesn't work at all. Might be
utility problems, but nfsutils-0.2 doesn't work with plain 2.2.18pre, and
the NFS patches get a huge reject in fs/nfs/dir.c and fishy-looking offsets
elsewhere on 2.2.18pre6 at least.
Anyway, if they leave Linux this way they werent't true believers in te
first place, were they? ;-)
