You also asked more generally what we could do to make the grace period less obnoxious. I have some minimal notes here: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Nfsd4_server_recovery#Nice_to_have Making sure there are no v4 clients on its own doesn't do the job since we also want consistency with NLM clients. But the kernel doesn't currently know about NLM clients. I haven't come up with any bright ideas here yet. --b. -- 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
