Re: KNFSD information needed

["David Shirley" <dave@cs.curtin.edu.au>]

Bernd, Trond,

No not interesting in unfsd :)

Yes my nfsd shows up as [nfsd]. - i didn't occur to me that the "[]" meant
kernel :)

We have nfs working fine, but like i said reading some doco online
made reference to nfsd as well as knfsd. This doco is about 3 years old
however
so maybe the too have mereged since then.

In fact the html docs included in nfs-utils-0.3.3 package (redhat) make
reference
to a userspace and kernel space nfsd, with performance specs as well :)

I dont mean to put anyone down or anything, i think the nfs team are doing
a great job - i understand that its all volunteer work :)

I will read up on file locking - but this whole knfsd naming issue caught me
off guard :)

Cheers again
Dave
