There is server code in projects/nfsv4.1-server, but it does not include pNFS (and I don't plan on trying to do pNFS support, since it is a major project). The main piece missing from the NFSv4.1 server is backchannel support (for callbacks) in sessions and I am currently working on that. rick > -- > Freddie Cash > fjwcash@gmail.com > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-fs@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-fs > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-fs-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
