<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Could someone give me a brief synopsis
or pointer to the "locking issues" with NFS? I'd like
to understand it better and maybe discuss this with our GPFS experts.
I just wonder if it's better, long term, to go lockless in ad_bgl and build
bgl+nfs as a fallback for NFS? It's certainly something we could
explore on this list, but I don't know if/when it would make it into an
IBM release. There's certainly some "process" we're still
inventing/exploring here on this list.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Rob, I didn't have time yet to dig into
your patch. But I suspect you have not applied my recent patches
from this list to your source. I think there might be a conflict.
I'll look into it later. I'm moving my office today, plus I've
been swamped with some side issues.</font>
