NFSv4 is coming
The integration of an NFS version 4 implementation into the Linux kernel
got one step closer this week when Kendrick Smith announced the availability of a set of patches
for 2.5.31. These patches are not for casual users quite yet - there are
38 of them, they only implement a small part of the NFSv4 protocol, and a
fair amount of work is needed to get it all going. The purpose of this set
of patches is to get a conversation started toward the merging of NFSv4
into the kernel. Once the minimal code is in, the rest of the protocol
(which works in a 2.4 version of the patch) can be ported forward and
merged.
