Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The Network File System v4 (NFSv4) allows a client to both open a
   file and be granted a delegation of that file.  This delegation
   provides the client the right to authoritatively cache metadata on
   the file locally.  This document presents several extensions for both
   the opening and delegating of the file to the client.  This document
   extends both RFC8881 and RFC7863.

Working Group Summary

  Agreement was reached across the WG for this draft. This draft was relatively uncontroversial. 

Document Quality

   There are some significant implementations (in Linux) but not broadly yet
beyond Linux.  There is at least one server implementation.  The Linux
implementation is part of the kernel mainline, and so included in all
distributions. This is, however, an optional feature.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Christopher Inacio. The
   Responsible Area Director is Zaheduzzaman Sarker.
