Hi,
As of now most of the NAS boxes talk NFSv2/3. When NFSv4 will be widely
use, won't these boxes be useless? Can we have some
interoperability mechanism for this?
Regards,
Rushi
Rushi,
Why won't the NAS boxes also talk NFSv4? Blatant plug here,
since I work on NFSv4 for NetApp, a NAS box, but we currently
offer NFSv4 in our shipping products. To mitigate my plug,
note that Hummingbird's Maestro provides a PC-NFS client
and server, and the Citi has published a Linux client. I'll
provide a link for the free software:
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/
Also, the different NFSv4 developers meet about 3 times a year
to test interoperability.
Later,
Tom

why do you believe that supporting NFSv2/3 and supporting
NFSv4 is mutually exclusive? every NFSv4 implementation
i'm aware of (except one prototype) allows all three versions
to coexist peacefully.
