So basically, we can summarize v2.2.16 with:
o Another kernel that doesn't come with usable NFS
?!
I know that this seems a little narrow-sighted, but NFSv3 (or indeed,
any NFS-related fixups) has been on hold for so long now that I've lost
count. For every new kernel release, I hold my hopes up "Yes, now we can
spend the time between this minor and the next one merging NFS-fixes and
testing them out properly", but so far, nothing of the kind has happened.

If I sound bitter, consider that I have an exam 5 hours from
now that I haven't studied properly for. In fact, I shouldn't be
reading mail now, I should be studying...

/David -- Ready to test any NFS-related patches... Preferably NFSv3.
