I modified the FAQ language a bit, suggesting that folks both post problems and search the archives when hitting problems. I didn't want to get too specific, especially about problems that are already solved.

Also, James mentioned that the IRIX client text in the HOW-TO is out of date; Tavis Barr is about to post the updated HOW-TO and ask for comments; it contains the IRIX updates.

The FAQ points to the archives on www.geocrawler.com - however there doesn't seem to be any way of actually searching the archives - in fact, searching the Sourceforge Support Requests, indicates that this is known 'problem' and that they are working on a replacement to Geocrawler.

Therefore, I would suggest that until what ever replaces the NFS list archives on Geocrawler is available, the FAQ should point to another archive of the NFS list that can be searched e.g.
http://groups.google.com/groups?group=mlist.nfs-valinux

I've found that this is the nicest/searchable mailing list archive:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-nfs&r=1&w=2

you can search subject and bodies and I've found the threading concepts to be relatively intuitive.
