Hi! I am one of the developers of the "unfs3" server. Unfortunately, the
maintainer Pascal Schmidt has disappeared from the net. I've been hosting
the source repository, but I do not have admin access to the Sourceforge
unfs3 project. This means that I cannot make new releases or maintain the
project. Now, the problem is that Sourceforge no longer accepts Abandoned
Project Takeovers.
I can of course host the project somewhere else, but Google Code does not
accept project names which exists on SF, nor do they offer Subversion
imports, and I believe it would be quite confusing for old users to have a
"dead" project at SF. Switching to another name doesn't seem very
practical neither.
So, if anyone of you knows where Pascal Schmidt can be reached, or have
some idea of how the SF staff can be convinced to do a Abandoned Project
Takeover, please let me know. There's a ticket at
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/17261 .
Another option, I guess, would be to discontinue the unfs3 project and
recommend users to migrate to nfs-ganesha, or something like that. Any
users of ganesha on this list? I don't know much about it. Unfortunately
it seems like it does not support Windows, which we need.
Best regards,

I am the project lead for nfs-ganesha. I would be happy to provide you
with all information that would help you.

There is currently no port of nfs-ganesha to windows. I am working on a
linux environment and so does the other folks contributing to the
project. Anyway, I do not think that a port to windows would be
something impossible. Matt Benjamin (from the LinuxBox company)
succeeded once in compiling nfs-ganesha on cygwin on a windows platform.
It seems to me there are tools at Microsoft's to ease port of unix
applications to Windows, but I am no expert of this. Anyway, the
linux-nfs is probably not the right place for discussing of this, I
suggest that we continue talking of this on the nfs-ganesha's
development list whose address is [email protected] .
