List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, There's a new NFS_ALL package full of NFS client updates out for 2.4.19-rc1. New features include: - UDP message round trip timing in order to improve the timeout + resend cycle. - UDP congestion control as per Van Jacobson. - Further improvements to the close-to-open code - Full support for the NFSv3 ACCESS function (as required by people who want to use ACLs). A full description of all the components and features can be found in the file http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.19-rc1/HEADER.html the patch itself can be found as http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.19-rc1/linux-2.4.19-NFS_ALL.dif For those who have been following the contents of these files, please note that a lot of changes have been made w.r.t. the 2.4.18 version: Amongst other things, the 'ping' patch (see http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.18/HEADER.html) is assumed to be replaced by the new and improved RPC round trip timing+congestion avoidance code. The DIRECTIO patch has been removed pending a decision by Chuck on whether or not he wants to continue supporting it?
