Network File System Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol

Overview

RFC 8881, “Network File System Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2020 by D. Noveck, C. Lever. It obsoletes RFC 5661. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes the Network File System (NFS) version 4 minor version 1, including features retained from the base protocol (NFS version 4 minor version 0, which is specified in RFC 7530) and protocol extensions made subsequently. The later minor version has no dependencies on NFS version 4 minor version 0, and is considered a separate protocol.

This document obsoletes RFC 5661. It substantially revises the treatment of features relating to multi-server namespace, superseding the description of those features appearing in RFC 5661.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.
