We're (FreeBSD Inc.) currently finalising serious funding for a full-time developer to FIX THIS. In addition, one of the principal developers of the NFS code has expressed an interest in fixing things that are really wrong with it. I notice that MCS is a serious organisation. I would go so far as to say that having NFS work *properly* is worth something to you. How much? You don't have to make the sum public, but if you're serious about seeing this fixed, the one way to see it happen *for* *certain* is to be part of the effort in funding a real professional to work on the code, on a professional basis. I would really, seriously, like to hear from you on this. We're serious.
