Back in the beginning when this was the nfs-list, that was always the case.
It is part of the tradition of this group. I'm not saying that is good or
that is bad, but it has always been.

If you mean file handles, BWNFS supports as many file handles as you have buffer memory for. Carl Beame Beame@McMaster.CA
