|
|
<para>NFS on Linux was made possible by a collaborative effort of many
|
|
people, but a few stand out for special recognition. The original
|
|
version was developed by Olaf Kirch and Alan Cox. The version 3
|
|
server code was solidified by Neil Brown, based on work from
|
|
Saadia Khan, James Yarbrough, Allen Morris, H.J. Lu, and others
|
|
(including himself). The client code was written by Olaf Kirch and
|
|
updated by Trond Myklebust. The version 4 lock manager was developed
|
|
by Saadia Khan. Dave Higgen and H.J. Lu both have undertaken the
|
|
thankless job of extensive maintenance and bug fixes to get the
|
|
code to actually work the way it was supposed to. H.J. has also
|
|
done extensive development of the nfs-utils package. Of course this
|
|
dedication is leaving many people out.

The original version of this document was developed by Nicolai
|
|
Langfeldt. It was heavily rewritten in 2000 by Tavis Barr
|
|
and Seth Vidal to reflect substantial changes in the workings
|
|
of NFS for Linux developed between the 2.0 and 2.4 kernels.
|
|
It was edited again in February 2002, when Tom McNeal made substantial
|
|
additions to the performance section.
|
|
Thomas Emmel, Neil Brown, Trond Myklebust, Erez Zadok, and Ion Badulescu
|
|
also provided valuable comments and contributions.
