I've dreamed about that for years. I don't think it would be too difficult, but one thing that has held it back is the shortage of ephemeral ports on the client may reduce the number of concurrent mount points we can support. One way to avoid the port issue is to construct an SCTP transport for NFS. SCTP allows multiple streams on the same connection, effectively eliminating head of line blocking. -- Chuck Lever -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
