> Is anyone currently working on getting NFS fixed before the 3.0 release? If Yes, we have just today made arrangements with another BSD developer to jump in and work on this. I won't say who that developer is, but I will say that I have a good deal of confidence in his ability to accomplish notable things in short periods of time, and it certainly doesn't hurt that he's extremely familiar with the code. More than that I cannot say until I at least see some of the preliminary results. Given that we only started today, everyone should also give this process just a little time to ramp up. :) And yes, I'm very interested in reproducible failure scenarios. If you have such a case and would like to be part of the testing/bug-fixing loop, please send me a short email indicating as much. If you have any PRs currently in the database concerning reproducible failure scenarios, please indicate those as well and I'll make a note of them next to your name. This list will then be passed on to the developer in question for reference. I've already added Kevin Day in as the first entry. :) - Jordan > not, is there someone willing to start, that would benefit from getting some > core-dumps from crashes, and a testbed that seems to crash daily? :) > > For those uninformed...
