First of all, kudos for new nfs-utils. Now, nfs4 works automagically and like a charm. And now the hard part, some questions: - I have read that nfs4 includes in the server the locking protocol, no need for separate lockd. But in my servers, it seems it is still running: root 2198 2 0 Feb18 ? 00:00:00 [nfsiod] root 23501 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd4] root 23502 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23503 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23504 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23505 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23506 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23507 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23508 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23509 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 23500 2 0 01:01 ? 00:00:00 [lockd] Is there any problem with it ? I suppose (correct me if I'm wrong) that this kernel lockd will only serve for v2 or v3 mounts, that locking for client nfs4 mounts will go through nfsd4. Is that right ? - Why is there only 1 instance of v4 daemon ? - Is there any page describing the advantages of v4 ? I will have to convince the department admin to activate v4 in his solaris boxen...;) TIA Notes: kernel is 2.6.33-rc8, nfs-utils are 1.2.2. -- J.A.
