Articles and Notes
A Wish List
- Mount notes
- Scalable mounting (more efficient use of network resources; mountd connection caching)
- Rewrite nfs(5)
- Real unit testing
- Useful error reporting
- Complete internationalization
- Proper implementation of break-back retries
- Support for IPv6
- Support for server failover options
- Testing of -o remount
- Rebuild the NFS server and client XDR layer from the ground up
- More complete type checking and error reporting
- Each function called with a simplified virtual API
- All functions re-entrant so we can remove the BKL
- Construct productized performance tools based on /proc/self/mounstats
