Acknowledgements

I thank Doug Zongker and Andy Collins for their implementation efforts and design discussions throughout the graduate operating systems class project which led to this paper. Doug is responsible for the implementation of the larger lookup cache, and Andy wrote the enhanced mount utility and a first version of the cache cleaning daemon, nccd.

I also thank Jan Sanislo for his initial integration of the 2.1.32 NFS client into the 2.0.27 kernel, and for his hardware support and network expertise throughout this project, and Corey Anderson who provided valuable feedback on a draft of this paper.
