[ofa-general] Fwd: [NFS] What's slated for inclusion in 2.6.24-rc1 from the NFS client git tree...

I'm happy to forward this note from Trond that the NFS/RDMA kernel
client will be available in the mainline after the 2.6.24-rcX process
begins, among other NFS improvements of course.
There is a new nfs-aware mount command required to actually invoke
an NFS/RDMA mount. The easiest way to accomplish this is to fetch
the latest nfs-utils from <git://linux-nfs.org/nfs-utils> and to invoke
the mount.nfs binary directly. I'll forward more details later.
Tom.
