NFSv4.0 Migration: Specification Update
RFC 7931, “NFSv4.0 Migration: Specification Update”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2016 by D. Noveck, P. Shivam, C. Lever, B. Baker. It updates RFC 7530. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The migration feature of NFSv4 allows the transfer of responsibility for a single file system from one server to another without disruption to clients. Recent implementation experience has shown problems in the existing specification for this feature in NFSv4.0. This document identifies the problem areas and provides revised specification text that updates the NFSv4.0 specification in RFC 7530.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
