Irix NFS Server Problems - Ever Resolved?

Irix NFS Server Problems - Ever Resolved?

[Eric Harvieux]

Hi,

I have recently run into problems with 2.6 NFS clients accessing Irix 
servers. After extensive searching, I found the problem referred to on 
the kernel mailing list, in this thread:

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/1/message/19372/thread

I could not find any other discussion of this issue and was wondering if 
there has been any further work done to write a patch for this issue? 
This bug definitely breaks 2.6 NFS clients, while 2.4 clients works fine.

Thanks,
-Eric
