I read in
http://www.time-travellers.org/shane/papers/NFS_considered_harmful.html that
"The NFS protocol version 3 does have support for the client specifying the time
when updating a file, but this is not widely implemented."  So my question is,
is this support implemented in the Linux nfs client?
