Ok, I haven't played with NFS v4 myself, only v3 and v2. Is v4 considered stable yet? According to the FAQ at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ it seems to still be in the development phase, at least I get that impression from the answers to question A3. http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/ says: "We are developing an implementation of NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 for Linux." and http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page says: "NFSv4 promises to bring several key new features, but clearly it will be imperative to users that the new version of NFS be robust, that it perform well, and that it interoperate easily with other technologies." It seems to me as when they speak about NFS v4 they are talking about something we might get in the future. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

All I know is, when building a new kernel, if I compile in both variants to be safe and then try to mount something I get a few files which appear to be something to do with the inner workings of nfs but nothing I want. -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk

Do you have problems with packet loss in your network? If so did you try nfs over tcp instead of upd? On the other hand, if you have found a solution and think that solution fully satisfies your needs you might not think there is any reason to spend time trying to fix a full featured NFS solution. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
