The goal of this project is to develop a NFS version 4 file server, to be used as a front-end for various NFS experiments and production projects.
| Mile stone | Goal | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fully compliant NFS v4 server, serving metadata and data stored entirely in RAM. | 100% done |
| 2 | Use Berkeley DB4 as a transactional database, with POSIX local filesystem for bulk storage. | 95% done |
| ? | Metadata replication and a distributed storage backend, possibly with the help of storaged. | 0% done |
Status: Alpha (95% of milestone #2 complete). 549 of 636 newpynfs tests succeed. Linux NFSv4 client successfully mounts, chown's, chmod's, and does basic read/write. Survives fsx with Linux NFSv4 client. OpenSolaris successfully mounts, also.
