[ofa-general] NFS over RDMA

[Steve Wise]

If you want to run over iWARP with cxgb3 then I suggest you either try 
ofed-1.4.1-rc1 or better yet, just use the kernel.org 2.6.28 kernel.  
The docs in the kernel/Documentation tree are pretty self explanatory.  
Email me or jon at opengridcomputing.com if you have specific 
questions/problems. 

Steve.
