Just to keep the group up-to-date; Caldera's Tech Support has just
told me that neither OpenUnix8 nor OpenServer (5.0.6, 5.0.7)
is going to support NFS V3. We might be able to see NFS V3
supported under the next major OpenUnix8 release, due out mid
next year.

Pay attention to the fact that, although OpenUnix 8.0.0
mentions the support for NFS V3 (eg, mount(1Mnfs)), that feature 
is NOT implemented into the NFS binaries and that could be
"misleading" (sp?).

Best,
Roberto

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
