Major NFS Bugs Found & Being Fixed

mbadolato writes "From an article at kerneltrap.org: On the FreeBSD hacker mailing list, Jordan Hubbard commented on some serious issues with NFS, posting a tool called 'fsx' - originally developed for the NeXT OS - that was ideal for finding them. Matt Dillon was quite impressed by the tool and immediately started playing with it. In very little time, he presented a number of major fixes..."

There's a good collection of the emails here describing some of the fixes that Matt Dillon has made."

More proof: Trolls are dead

[DrSpin]

In the olden days, trolls lived under bridges in Scandinavia, and extracted monstrous payments from would-be passers by.

Nowadays, Microsoft has taken on the job of ripping people off, even in the coldest parts of Scandinavia, and they can do it without using bridges (or routers - but if you have one, Cisco will rip you off too).

This leaves trolls with nothing to do but post childish comments about operating systems that they have never used, and most people have never heard of.

Netcraft and IDC never even mention trolls, and nor do Microsoft. Its not true that Bill Gates is a secret troll. George W Bush can't even spell "troll".

Apple Computer ceased employing trolls when the Lisa failed to sell, and that was over 15 years ago. Even BSDZine doesn't mention trolls in 97% of issues. The bridge over Walnut Creek hasn't had a troll living under it since 1776.

Clearly there is no future for trolls, even if they are alive, which is doubtful.

The best advise to any remaining trolls is "get a life". (Though a part in "Lord of the Rings" might be more profitable.)

This guy's actually pretty funny- most of the time, he actually takes credit for his comment(s), though. Look up user "BSD is dying", and check out all of his posts.
