Subject: [PATCH 6/6] nfsdcltrack: update the README about server startup order
Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2012 07:52:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1349092365-23920-7-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1349092365-23920-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com>
If we eventually deprecate nfsdcld, then we can just remove this
section I think.
