NWFS cleanup - anyone for a bounty?

[Antony Mawer]

Hi all,

The NWFS code in FreeBSD 6.0 (and presumably 6.1) works fine in 95% of 
cases, but there are a few rough edges and problems that would be very 
nice if someone with more kernel/filesystem knowledge than myself could 
step up and investigate.

A number of problems that have been fixed are similar to problems that 
have existed in the SMBFS code, and may simply need similar patches 
applied -- one example is this PR:

     http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/59211

(I'm planning on testing this patch soon so it can be committed).

Another unusual issue is where the "." directory in the mount point 
simply "vanishes", causing problems with directory enumeration:

     http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/65920


Are those who are also using NWFS interested in sponsoring someone to 
look at these problems, and is anyone interested in doing the work? I'm 
looking at what I can do to provide a reasonable test environment to 
anyone interested in working remotely on this (ie. access to a Netware 
server and a machine with a serial console to work on)...

Cheers
Antony
