NFSv4.0 Migration: Specification Update
Abstract
The migration feature of NFSv4 allows the transfer of responsibility
for a single file system from one server to another without
disruption to clients. Recent implementation experience has shown
problems in the existing specification for this feature in NFSv4.0.
This document identifies the problem areas and provides revised
specification text that updates the NFSv4.0 specification in RFC
7530.
