Old stuff

From Linux NFS

rfc 5661 includes protocol for directory delegations, but implementation efforts are currently stored; see NFSv4.1 Directory Delegations for experience from an early CITI prototyping effort.

The spkm3 gss mechanism never caught on (hence also lipkey, which was based on it); by the time it was implemented, protocol shortcomings were found, and it was decided a new mechanism would need to be specified. See SPKM3 Issues.

Testing: A now-defunct NFSv4 testing project compiled a bunch of tests that might be worth running on NFSv4, with some results on early code, etc.:

• Testing tools
• Emulating tools
• Functional testing
• Robustness testing
• Tests needed
• Testing methodologies
• Test matrix
• Testing forecast roadmap
