    Hello Bill,

    I had the impression that unfsd maintained a table of sent file
    handles and a pointer to the actual file. The problem with this
    approach is that clients complain if the server crashes or resets. Is
    this what you are thinking to do, or are you providing a way to go
    from the inode number to the file?

    Heh. We sometimes need to reset some of our nfs server for other
    reasons and this is the reason for not having Linux machines replace
    all of our solaris hosts yet.

    best wishes,
    Miguel.
