Hi,

I have seen in the 1.4.0 announcement:

Cache chunk locking has been refined, and native operating
system vnodes on Linux and MacOS X are now supported.

This has nothing to do with the fileserver, only with the client.
Unfortunately the term vnode is used in different sense on the client and server: while on the client the vnode is a structure in the kernel on the server a vnode is a "line" in either the small or large vnode-file of the volume (and of course also a structure in the fileserver's memory).

When I have read this, I understood that now the inode file server was supported on Linux. But I don't see any other reference to this, so maybe I am wrong? So, is it possible to use the inode file server with Linux/ext2, and if so how can I activate it?

Thanks,
Frederic Gilbert.
