NFS Version 4.1 Update for Multi-Server Namespace
draft-ietf-nfsv4-mv1-msns-update-03
Abstract
This document presents necessary clarifications and corrections
concerning features related to the use of attributes in NFSv4.1
related to file system location. These features include migration,
which transfers responsibility for a file system from one server to
another, and facilities to support trunking by allowing discovery of
the set of network addresses to use to access a file system. This
document updates RFC5661.
