Hi all,
The NWFS code in FreeBSD 6.0 (and presumably 6.1) works fine in 95% of
cases, but there are a few rough edges and problems that would be very
nice if someone with more kernel/filesystem knowledge than myself could
step up and investigate.
A number of problems that have been fixed are similar to problems that
have existed in the SMBFS code, and may simply need similar patches
applied -- one example is this PR:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/59211
(I'm planning on testing this patch soon so it can be committed).
Another unusual issue is where the "." directory in the mount point
simply "vanishes", causing problems with directory enumeration:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/65920
Are those who are also using NWFS interested in sponsoring someone to
look at these problems, and is anyone interested in doing the work? I'm
looking at what I can do to provide a reasonable test environment to
anyone interested in working remotely on this (ie. access to a Netware
server and a machine with a serial console to work on)...
Cheers
Antony
