> Brief intro to NFS/RDMA work:

> Current client version is on Sourceforge, supporting various flavors of
> 2.4. I'm preparing a new release for 2.6.

> The client needs a patched version of Sunrpc in order to hook in as
> an NFS transport. This patch is being used by the NFS/IPv6
> project as well, and it's planned for future kernel.org integration.

This seems like good info for the OpenIB wiki page on NFSoRDMA.
