Ok.

Jason actually had some concerns. Mainly that the patch does nothing for a
v2 mount.

I think a better thing to do would be something like

	error = VOP_READ/VOP_WRITE( ..., IO_NODELOCKED | IO_NDELAY, ...)
	if (error == EAGAIN) {
		if (v3)
			error = NFSERR_TRYAGAIN;
		else {
			error = drop me;
		}
	}

I'm not sure what "drop me" would consist of though...

His point was that a client shoudn't be able to hose an nfs server just by
making a v2 mount.

What would happen to a v2 client if we sent it a v3 error?

Take care,
