be fine.

nfsv4-editor drafts page

Spencer,

I noticed that the link to "NFSv4.1 Draft-12" on
http://nfsv4-editor.org/drafts/drafts.html is wrong.
It points to draft-11 by mistake.

Re: draft 13 layoutreturn4


Thanks. Will get it corrected in draft 14.  It is in the .x btw if
anyone needs the definition.

We are thinking that the majority of folks will be testing draft-13;

Is this true ?

Will there be anyone there testing SSV?

deviceid4 (uint64_t -> uint32_t -> uint64_t)


Benny has pointed out that the definition of deviceid4 changed between
drafts 12 and 13 from uint64_t to uint32_t.  This appears to be a  
clerical
error and it will be changed back to uint64_t in draft 14.
