BTW kernel, NFS and lockd: SuSE kernel IIRC is distributed with patch which adds kernel-based status monitor (statd). Q to NFS people: any plans about merge this in main kernel tree ? And another question related to NFS: any progress on add clear NFS statistics in kernel (nfsstat -z) ? kloczek -- ----------------------------------------------------------- *Ludzie nie maj? problem?w, tylko sobie sami je stwarzaj?* ----------------------------------------------------------- Tomasz K?oczko | *e-mail: kloczek@rudy.mif.pg.gda.pl* --0-563880963-1198091743=:3875--
