NFSv4.1 Server Implementation
|
|
|
|
Server support for minorversion 1 can be controlled using the
|
|
/proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. The string output returned
|
|
by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1"
|
|
correspondingly.
|
|
|
|
Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is disabled by default.
|
|
It can be enabled at run time by writing the string "+4.1" to
|
|
the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this
|
|
control file, the nfsd service must be taken down. Use your user-mode
|
|
nfs-utils to set this up; see rpc.nfsd(8)
|
|
|
|
The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based
|
|
on the latest NFSv4.1 Internet Draft:
|
|
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-29
|
|
|
|
From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation
|
|
focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing
|
|
"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
|
|
resources allocated for each client.
|
|
|
|
Other NFSv4.1 features, Parallel NFS operations in particular,
|
|
are still under development out of tree.
|
|
See http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_prototype_design
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
|
|
the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
|
|
(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
|
|
in minor version 1. The first column indicates the operations that
|
|
are not supported yet by the linux server implementation.
|
|
|
|
The OPTIONAL features identified and their abbreviations are as follows:
|
|
pNFS Parallel NFS
|
|
FDELG File Delegations
|
|
DDELG Directory Delegations
|
|
|
|
The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
|
|
I Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.
|
|
NS Not Supported.
|
|
NS* unimplemented optional feature.
|
|
P pNFS features implemented out of tree.
|
|
PNS pNFS features that are not supported yet (out of tree).
