================================================================
  AmiNFSv3 - mount a Linux or NAS directory as an Amiga volume.
================================================================


WHAT IT IS

  A mounted filesystem handler speaking NFSv3 over TCP. A directory
  exported by a Linux machine or a NAS becomes an ordinary Amiga
  volume: Workbench icon, device and volume name, and every program
  simply uses it as a disk. The classic Amiga NFS clients speak
  NFSv2 over UDP, which modern Linux servers no longer offer at
  all; Stefan Franke's nfs3 mount utility speaks v3. AmiNFSv3 is a
  full DOSDriver filesystem, and talks to a current kernel nfsd and
  to a Synology NAS out of the box.


FEATURES

  - Read and write, with honest failure handling: writes are
    committed when a file closes, and the server's write verifier
    is tracked - a server restart mid-file fails the Close instead
    of losing data silently

  - Automount from DEVS:DOSDrivers or mount-on-demand from Storage;
    NFSDismount stops a handler cleanly, and the next access
    remounts it fresh (replacing the handler binary needs no
    reboot)

  - Mount options for the volume name, identity (UID/GID), local
    time zone, transfer sizes, and request pipelining - the
    defaults are safe on any machine from a plain 68000 up, the
    options let a fast setup stretch its legs

  - Fast: on an A1200 with a PiStorm, 13-14 MB/s through c:Copy in
    both directions, and 65 MB/s reading through an application
    with a large buffer. Case-insensitive lookups the Amiga way,
    correct behaviour verified byte-for-byte against the server
    throughout development

  - Files up to 4 GB (above 2 GB some AmigaDOS programs display
    sizes wrongly - a 32-bit OS limit, not the handler's)


INSTALLATION

  nfs-handler into L:, NFSDismount into C:, edit the NFS0 DOSDriver
  (server address, export path, options) and Mount it. The full
  manual - including the one /etc/exports line the Linux side
  needs, the firewall ports, and per-setup tuning - is AmiNFSv3.doc.
