yes some of us are still using 2.2
if I use 2.2.22 + Trond's linux-2.2.21-NFS.dif am I current? It applies
fine (minus a cast which was already included)
are there any other previous patches I need?
also I recall hearing about stalling, and some fixes floating
around...is that just 2.4, do I need to worry about that too?

Hardly current, but definitely up to the limits of which I'm prepared
to go with 2.2.x 8-)

In principle not.

That is with the latest 2.4 (and 2.5) pre-kernels.
Cheers,

biggest thing stopping me from upgrading the servers to 2.4 is knowing
that everyone will get stale handles, this will be very hard to manage
logistically, too many disparate political units with clients mounting
off it. You said before that there is server code to handle old 2.2
cookies but I've heard otherwise from posts on the list and 2.2 works
too well for us right now to risk this. I really should get around to
testing this though. Truth is, 2.2 works well for our needs, I don't
really care to upgrade until we get something worthwhile like RPCSEC and
ACL support.
your patches affect client only though right?
Our servers are running 2.2.18pre19 with UDP rsize fix since forever,
with no problems whatever.

Nah. Xemacs wants to play games when formatting. I just hate having
the thing indent with

Nobody is forcing you to upgrade, however I wanted to make the point
that 2.2.x is a 'critical fixes only' kernel. Otherwise I'm not
touching it...
