Huh? Rick Macklem's implementation (the basis of the 4.3BSD-Reno NFS)
is not exactly a clone of Sun's. Nor is Linux. Implemented from the
specs, yes; and from talking to other implementations, yes; but
*not* the same codebase.  For quite obvious reasons.

(In fact, there are two linux implementations; a userspace version
based on David Shand's unfsd, and a kernel version).  Not only do they
put file-handle info in different places, they send packets
on-the-wire in different order.


I dont know where you got your information from, but perhaps you
should consider finding a better source.
