List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi - I've finished testing the latest utils package, nfs-utils-1-0-1-pre8, both with udp and tcp mounts to the server, in both a 2.4.18 standard and patched (Trond's NFS_ALL patch) environment, and it is ready to go as far as I am concerned. The difference between pre7 and pre8 was simply a warning message in exports.c, so any testing being done on MP platforms (by those of you who have access to them) need not be repeated. A couple of questions have come up in my testing, which may have to be addressed elsewhere, but are not related to the package: - Does locking take a much longer time in ext3 file systems, or in the patched environment? In the patched kernel, exporting ext3, the connectathon lock tests seemed to take up to 10x as long, but that was over many hours, with a big load. When run just once with the other connectathon tests, it didn't seem so different. - The client net statistics in /proc/net/rpc/nfs seems to remain at 0 regardless of the activity and regardless of the kernel. I'm going to start browsing through the kernel code to see if there is something obvious, but maybe someone knows about this already. I didn't see anything in the mailing list. Anyway, as soon as we hear results of MP testing, I'd say its ready to ship.
