Well, given that this is linux-*kernel* mailing list, the answer
seems appropriate.

You didn't say you couldn't use 2.4.  And anyway, UML runs under the 
latest 2.2 kernels.

Was it a joke?  Well, maybe.  Networking isn't UML's strong point.

I am not aware of any userspace NFSv3 server.  Your best bet would
probably to take the v2 server and mutate it.  Why do you want this beast?

So I can use Linux rather than Solaris 7 and the Solstice Disk Suite,
which performs like crap thanks to UFS, and the Linux NFS v2
implementation.

Yes, but why do you need a userspace NFSv3 server? v2.2.18 will contain
knfsdv3, shouldn't this be good enough?

The point is, why not use knfsd.

Okay, how about the nfsv3 kernel patch for 2.2.17? Does anyone know how
well (reliably) it works in client and server mode?

Thanks!

Is there a working userspace nfs v3 server for linux?

Yes, just install user mode linux and use its v3 knfsd server.

Does anyone have any suggestions that aren't jokes, don't require a 2.4
kernel and will work?

2.2.18pre18 in-kernel NFSv3 (client and server) appears to work against
Solaris 2.6 (light testing with nfs-utils-2.1.1)
