Re: [nfsv4] Linux pNFS status meeting 07/08

[Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>]

Hi Sorin,

I'm getting a 'There are no rooms available for the dates you specified'
reply when I try to book for the dates 10/4 to 10/8 using the link you
provided on the web page below. Should I be using a special booking
code?

Cheers
  Trond
