Lustre devel - May 2006 - Lustre-1.6beta2: no NFS, yet?

I compiled Lustre with a vanilla 2.6.12.6 kernel, and it seems to work 
quite well, so far.

However, I can''t seem to successfully export a Lustre filesystem via
NFS
using it, so I''m guessing that NFS export support hasn''t made
it into the
1.6beta, yet.  Is that correct? Are there plans for another beta with that 
support included in the near future, or does someone have a set of patches 
somewhere, or...?

Also, when it does support NFS, will the quota support integrate with the 
NFS quota support?

Thanks,

Brent

There should be another beta with at least NFS support added.

We have not digged into this yet. Chances are it will not work, because
rpc.quotad is a userspace thing that knows nothing about lustre quota ioctls.
But as soon as somebody will teach it, everything will be fine.
