           Summary: use the new libnfs library for the nfs kioslave
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: nfs
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: iv0co at hotmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Recently, an effort has been underway to create a library for accessing nfs
shares (with 3 different interfaces I believe: raw access, sync and async).
https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs

The idea is to have all applications needing nfs access to use this so no
duplicate work is required. Is it possible to port the nfs kioslave to use
libnfs ? The advantage would be: aside from much less code to maintain, it will
also (hopefully will be) more stable.

E.g., as far as I know,
- kioslave uses readdirplus to get directory listing (not supported by unfs)
- doesn't implement "muliple fragements" support

These 2 examples, don't allow me to use the nfs kioslave with my nfs share.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try to connect to an userspace nfs share (unfs)

Actual Results:  
RPC error (multiple fragments and readdirplus not supported)

Expected Results:  
proper nfs access in, e.g., dolphin
