raid i can understand considering it's a 'no way back' thing.

The 2.2.18pre1 changes are higher risk problems to fix. 2.2.17pre20 is extremely
solid. Its probably the most solid 2.2 kernel so far

Since 2.2.17 isnt out yet I've released 2.2.18pre1 versus 2.2.17pre20. So
you need to grab 2.2.16 then apply the 2.2.17pre20 patch then the 2.2.18pre
patch of choice.
Well, I'm asking again, as usual, are you planning to integrate
kernel-space NFSv3? I'd appreciate if you did.

Any nfs-utils that work with vanilla 2.2.16 will work just fine with
