Q: nfs over tcp status ?

Q: nfs over tcp status ?

[Andre Holzner]

Hello,

(I hope this is not the wrong mailing list to ask this question..)

Does somebody know what the status of the support of nfs
via tcp (instead of udp) of Linux is ? Is there a version
supporting this (client and server) ? Are there some
plans to support this under Linux ?


best regards & many thanks,


Andre

Not "wrong" exactly, but not "best" either.
Look in the MAINTAINERS file of a recent kernel source tree, look for
references to NFS, and see if any mailing lists are suggested.
You should find
   nfs@lists.sourceforge.net

The client side support for nfs/tcp is all there in late 2.2.18
pre-patches, and patches for earlier kernels are available.  See
   http://nfs.sourceforge.net
for details.
Client side support is also in 2.4.0 test releases.

The server side is much less mature.  I believe that when 2.2.18 comes
out it will have nfs/tcp server as a 'experimental' compile time
options.  Much of the same code is in 2.4.0-testX, but I don't think
the compile time option is there, you need to edit the code to enable
it.
