Hi Manoj,

Progress has been slowed some due to people moving around, but we're
doing OK.  We have prototype code that does both mirror mounts and
referrals.  The largest piece left to do is handling automatic
unmounting, and that's being worked.  We also have some refactoring to
do for the referrals work, since the prototype is currently upcalling
to the automounter.  We've met most of the requirements with the
prototype, except for the pieces I've mentioned.  We'd like to get
source and binaries out on our OpenSolaris page soon, but I can't
give you a date for that.
