Rules for NFSv4 Extensions and Minor Versions
RFC 8178, “Rules for NFSv4 Extensions and Minor Versions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2017 by D. Noveck. It updates RFC 5661, RFC 7862. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the rules relating to the extension of the NFSv4 family of protocols. It covers the creation of minor versions, the addition of optional features to existing minor versions, and the correction of flaws in features already published as Proposed Standards. The rules relating to the construction of minor versions and the interaction of minor version implementations that appear in this document supersede the minor versioning rules in RFC 5661 and other RFCs defining minor versions.
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.
