Abstract

This document describes a set of extensions to the NFS version 4 protocol that enable the client to cache file data when caching conflicts prevent the server from handing out a file delegation. The proposed extensions enable the caching of only those specific byte ranges of data which the user application is reading or writing. As in the case of full delegations, a callback mechanism enables the server to request that the client flush cached data when a caching conflict occurs.
