Hi. What is the state of NFS v3 in FreeBSD? Is it done, half-done,
or not even begun. Is it available in 2.1.5-R, 2.2-current...?

In any case, if I was to write a NFS v3 client and server for
FreeBSD, what books or other sources of information would you
recommend? I already have the NFS v3 spec, have played with NFS v2
clients, and have some knowledge of kernel internals, but I don't
know well the vnode mechanism, and probably other things that
would be necessary to accomplish this task.
