Rushi,

Why won't the NAS boxes also talk NFSv4?  Blatant plug here,
since I work on NFSv4 for NetApp, a NAS box, but we currently
offer NFSv4 in our shipping products.  To mitigate my plug,
note that Hummingbird's Maestro provides a PC-NFS client
and server, and the Citi has published a Linux client. I'll
provide a link for the free software:
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/

Also, the different NFSv4 developers meet about 3 times a year
to test interoperability.

Later,
Tom
