Viewing file: Select action/file-type: ![]() ![]() ![]() Next: The Kernel-Space NFS Server Up: Interoperability Previous: Interoperability File HandleThe definitions of file and file handle are in the NFS V2 protocol are vague. The V2 specification only says a file handle is opaque to client and can contain whatever information the server needs to distinguish an individual file. However, there are many ambiguities:
The V2 specification is not clear on them and different NFS implementations interpreted them differently. That leads to the interoperability problems among different NFS implementations. For the interoperability test, we used the Connectathon, which is a network proving ground sponsored by Sun Microsystems for testing software and hardware interoperability allowing vendors to test their interoperability solutions, with special emphasis on NFS and Internet protocols, testsuites, http://www.connectathon.org/nfstests.html, to test the Linux implementation of the NFS V2 Protocol. Solaris 7/x86 and Solaris 7/Sparc are used at the NFS clients. We tested both the user-space and kernel-space NFS servers. As expected, the user-space NFS server didn't support file lock over NFS. All NFS lock tests in the Connectathon testsuites were not performed. Although the rest of tests were ok, the user-space NFS server is not suitable in an environment where the file lock over NFS is required. The later part of this paper will show the performance of the user-space NFS server is not idea either.
