NFS faq

Do you still maintain the FAQ at nfs.sourceforge.net?

In A7:

"There are some minor interoperability issues when applications running on clients make use of some of the new features of NFS Version 4 such as mandatory locking, share reservations, and delegations."

I'd remove "delegations"--they change the performance (most dramatically if the server has to wait for a lease to time out to allow an open), but should otherwise be transparent to applications.

The

links should probably just be removed and replaced by a "linux development" link to linux-nfs.org.
