Almeida <dwlsalmeida@xxxxxxxxx> With this one, my main concern is that this document looks *way* out of date, to the point that I wonder whether it is still useful or not. It would be good to find somebody who knows about this stuff to figure that out. Consider: > +The NFS/RDMA client was first included in Linux 2.6.24.

What are the chances that this list still works and has relevant people to it? It might be worth sending a copy of this patch there and seeing what results... > +- Install a Linux distribution and tools > + > + The first kernel release to contain both the NFS/RDMA client and server was > + Linux 2.6.25 Therefore, a distribution compatible with this and subsequent > + Linux kernel release should be installed.

I could go on, but I think you get the point. At a bare minimum we should put a big warning at the top saying that this document is obsolete. I should create a standard warning, I guess; for now anything that gets the point across should do. Thanks, jon
