So how about telling us about some of them, rather than just ranting? Maybe those of us who work with the NFS code can learn something new. NFS gets work done around this company, to the point where I don't see how we could do anything without it. We don't have anything to use in its place, and by and large it works very well. I have some kvetches about how Sun never fixes protocol bugs, but they don't affect me on a daily basis.
