List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi - The latest release of the nfs utils package has just been posted on https://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs/ The last version of the package was posted last September, so there are quite a few fixes in it. The one which you may notice right away is that synchronous IO is now a default export characteristic, falling in line with all other vendors of NFS. In order to ease the transition, a warning will be posted if you do not specify either "sync" or "async" in the export list. This removes a possible source of undetected data corruption, as detailed in the NFS howtos. Speaking of the howtos, the latest versions of them have been sent to the LDP, so they should be posted sometime next week. Finally, if you are interested, I have published the client based test package I used for testing the utils, which contains a GUI interface, and includes Connectathon, FSX, Bonnie++, and IOzone, among other things. The package was originally developed by Bruce Blinn and Adrian Drzewiecki at the Mission Critical Linux West Coast Office. I received permission from the owners of the assets of MCLX to post the package, after removing all parts related to the MCLX cluster software. You can find it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/nfstestmatrix One final note - I was not the only tester; Engineers at Red Hat and IBM, among others, were involved in the testing, so my Intel based UP machines were not the only ones exercising it.
