Hi,

I have to disagree! I am using NFS reliably over WiFi at home and it
works fine.
Not having NFS by default on MeeGo is one thing, but not allowing one
to have NFS on MeeGo without recompiling the kernel and the nfs-utils
is very annoying.
And basing this decision on false assumptions (NFS over WiFi does
work) is really disappointing.
If sshfs were more reliable I wouldn't run NFS over WiFi, would I?
Seems to me that the kernel should have nfs enabled as a module and
any vendor shipping a device would, of course, select initrd modules
as required.
I see the point that MeeGo cannot afford to support and QA test the
nfs-utils package - it simply isn't relevant to the vast majority of
target devices.
NFS is more than one package (if you want to work reliable); you end up
with the lockd stuff, the portmap stuff (which may spread to other
packages due to portmap
not being very friendly with IP ports etc etc)....
if someone really really gets it to work well in the community OBS I'm
open to deal with the kernel config issue; that's the least of the worries.
But what I don't want is that we complicate the already complex bootflow
of the "non NFS" OS at all...
