Comment Careful - wait for CODA (Score 1) 107
A friend of mine has actually written NFS for other platforms, and he's none too chuffed with the Linux NFS in several areas.
Apparently there are still soft spots and non-standard bits floating around in there.
He does send problems and patchlets in to knfsd, but has no patience with the userspace nfsd.
Remember that the Titanic Linux network often got stuck when the (SGI) NFS server fell over. (I severely doubt that particular problem is still around).
Personally I'm waiting for CODA - NFS isn't the prettiest creature in any light, or on anyones platform.
