Part of the problems could be owed to the fact that only NFSv2 is supported so far. +(Note though that locking on the Hurd is problematic in general, not only in +conjuction with NFS -- see the [[file_locking]] task.) + This project encompasses implementing NFSv3 support, fixing bugs and performance problems -- the goal is to have good NFS support.
