1NFSv4.1 Server Implementation
2
3Server support for minorversion 1 can be controlled using the
4/proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. The string output returned
5by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1"
6correspondingly.
7
8Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is disabled by default.
9It can be enabled at run time by writing the string "+4.1" to
10the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this
11control file, the nfsd service must be taken down. Use your user-mode
12nfs-utils to set this up; see rpc.nfsd(8)
13
14The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based
15on the latest NFSv4.1 Internet Draft:
16http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-29
17
18From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation
19focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing
20"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
21resources allocated for each client.
22
23Other NFSv4.1 features, Parallel NFS operations in particular,
24are still under development out of tree.
25See http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_prototype_design
26for more information.
27
28The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
29the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
30(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
31in minor version 1. The first column indicates the operations that
32are not supported yet by the linux server implementation.
33
34The OPTIONAL features identified and their abbreviations are as follows:
35 pNFS Parallel NFS
36 FDELG File Delegations
37 DDELG Directory Delegations
38
39The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
40 I Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.
41 NS Not Supported.
42 NS* unimplemented optional feature.
43 P pNFS features implemented out of tree.
44 PNS pNFS features that are not supported yet (out of tree).
