- My NFS filesystem for Linux is available for general testing. At this
- point it has a few limitations. Most glaring is that binaries cannot
- be run from from an NFS filesystem yet. Also, it does not yet do
- read/write caching so programs that do not use buffered I/O will be
- painfully slow and network intensive. Otherwise, it is a fairly
- stable and complete implementation of the NFS protocol featuring
- timeout and retransmission as well as directory, lookup, and attribute
- caching.
-
- It is available for Linux 0.98 patchlevels 4 and 5 from:
-
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/NFS/nfs-client-0.3.tar.Z
-
- Please let me know if you give it a try whether or not you had any
- success with it. Remember to include your NFS server's platform.
