For the bug reference, preliminary IPv6-supporting packages (client side only) are available at: http://storage.sesse.net/nfs-ipv6/ I tested with 2.6.26 (works with NFSv3, but not NFSv4) and 2.6.28-rc3 (works with both), against a Solaris 10 server. I have no idea when upstream plans to incorporate this support, but I guess it's a possible target for squeeze. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
