Hi Rick,

Thanks very much for the pointer.  As I think I mentioned late last
year, I'm eventulaly hoping to get rid of process context altogether
for the NFS server side, using some alternate notification mechanism
(like kconts) instead of [lt]sleep/wakeup and the associated
scheduler/context-switch penalties.

Is your new NFS server code nfsv4, or merged nfsv3/v4, or what?
I havent a lot of time to port it right now, but I'm interested
and will contact you out-of-band

thanks again,
--Jonathan
