Is there some specific feature in NFSv4.2 that you are looking for? I ask because there isn't a lot of new features in NFSv4.2 that aren't in NFSv4.1. As such, I didn't see much reason to worry about it. (I think there are some high end server features like server->server file copy, which would only be worth having in the client if you had high end NFS servers that supported this stuff.) NFSv4.1 was a big change from NFSv4.0, but most of the NFSv4.1->NFSv4.2 changes are minor. One of the biggest is a way to incrementally add feature= s without creating a new (NFSv4.3 or ??) version of the protocol. Probably a good idea, but only useful when incremental features are being implemented. rick
