There is a patch for an NFSv3 client that works on
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src

The modified 'mount' command (and patches) are to be found under

http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/nfsv3-mount

Please note that I'm in the process of thinking of a redesign of the
code for handling asynchronous write requests (and probably too the
code for handling large rsize), since I gather Linus isn't too happy
with it. Anybody who would like to contribute ideas/code etc are quite
welcome to do so...

Cheers,
Trond
