So what good does it do my network performance if a vendor has an implementation that I can't have? It might as well not exist. At least I've now got the source code to NFS 3 & I can hack it into my OS, and and I might actually be able to *use* it. It'll be nice having PC's able to talk quickly to our Alphas. >Let us know when it is out of beta, then we'll see if FreeBSD actually >beat anybody. > >Btw, Sun has had the kernal hooks for NFS v3 in the Solaris 2.4 kernel >since it's release in August 94. In other words, Sun has probably had >NFS v3 internally for quite some time. Like I said before, unreleased products don't really help me a lot. Let us know when an implementation is shipping with Solaris. As far as I know, NFS 3 won't show up until Solaris 2.5, and I think that's not supposed to be out until December. Digital has had NFS 3 since August '94 in OSF/1 3.0, and I've heard that SGI has it in their latest Irix (5.3). Anybody know about AIX or the soon-to-be-released HP-UX 10?
