Hello Jamie, hello all, I'm working on the administration of NFSv4 on Linux. (the implementation of NFSv4 on Linux is currently developped by the CITI: http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/ ) I'm modifying the two modules: "NFS Exports" and "Disk and Network Filesystems" to add them the support of NFSv4. I will also create two new modules needed by NFSv4: "idmapd" and "Kerberos5". Since the two first modules already exist, I'd like to have your opinion about the new interface I propose. You will find html static pages in the following link: http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/webmin_design/ The main differences between NFSv3 and NFSv4 are: - Mount: new options (including authentication), udp is no more allowed - Exportfs: new options (including authentication). You no more export directories but instead a pseudofilesystem, which will be mounted from the clients as '/'. This pseudofs is populated on the server with the command "mount --bind". I have put some comments and questions, if you can answer to them (Jamie?). If you have some questions or suggestions, if you think something is wrong, please do not hesitate to tell me.
