NFSv4

NFSv4 is a new generation of network filesystems. It is designed to be run over internet, and so, it get this capabilities :

• Strong security
• Network optimisations
• Interoperability

Features

Security

Network optimisations

Interoperability

IPv6 support for the client

Here is a short description to explain how to have an IPv6 ready client for NFSv2,v3 and v4 If you want further information about the IPv6 support design, please feel free to have a look <a href="http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/nfs_ipv6.php"> here</a>

TI-RPC library

The ti-rpc library is designed to replace sunrpc library. It is necessary to do Remote Procedures Calls regardless the transport used. Download the tirpc tarball: libtirpc-0.1.7.tar.gz Build and install:

> ./configure <br>
> make <br>
> make install <br>

Kernel patches

Dowload the cumulative patch: linux-2.6.11-IPv6-CLIENT-ALL.patch In the kernel source directory:

> patch -p1 < linux-2.6.11-NFS-IPv6-client.patch

User part patches

- Download nfs-utils tarball with IPv6 support included: here or Download cumulative patch for nfs-utils-1.0.7: nfs-utils-1.0.7-IPv6.patch Download nfs-utils-1.0.7 tarball: nfs-utils-1.0.7.tar.gz Apply patch in nfs-utils-1.0.7 directory:

> patch -p1 < nfs-utils-NFS-IPv6-client.patch

Build nfs client commands

:

> make<br>
> make install<br>
