Actually it's working quite well for me now.
I switched from kernel 2.4.19-16 to 2.4.19-1
and my problems went away.  I don't ask
questions.

Using it with debian several months ago failed too.
Since we have both linux and Plan 9 here, let me know
if there's any test I could do that might help you.

That's not much help; sorry.

Has anyone gotten aux/nfsserver to work
reasonably well with Linux?  I've been trying
but failing miserably.  Mounting works fine,
but then after a half hour or so, no more file
system operations work -- they all hang.  So
typing `enter' at a shell prompt gets me more
shell prompts, but typing ls (in a non-NFS directory!)
hangs.  Typing ctl-alt-del doesn't help, presumably
because that tries to exec reboot, but the file
system is deadlocked.

This is using whatever the default setup is under
Mandrake Linux.  I've tried both -o hard,intr and
-o soft,intr, and they both exhibit the same problems.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Never mind.  This has nothing to do with NFS,
though I did fix some wstat bugs in aux/nfsserver
that you should pick up if you're using it.
