Does anyone out there know where (other than the Sun docs) there useful
information regarding block device drivers, vnodes and NFS? I need
answers to questions like:
o How does a disk become NFS-aware?
o Which interface (vnode or NFS) does a device-driver-writer use as their
API?
o What is the difference between the vnode and NFS interfaces?
o Do you really have to worry about these interfaces or do you just write an
ordinary block device driver and let SunOS take care of the rest?
Thanks all,
