The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC5661, "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid4492 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: David Noveck <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2015-10-05 Held by: Magnus Westerlund (IESG) Section: 18.17.4 Original Text ------------- If the server does not support named attributes for the current filehandle, an error of NFS4ERR_NOTSUPP will be returned to the client. Corrected Text -------------- If the server does not support named attributes for file system objects on the file system associated with the current filehandle, an error of NFS4ERR_NOTSUPP will be returned to the client. Notes ----- There are a number of situations in which, a server might not support named attributes on particular file system objects. A number of cases concern doing an OPENATTR on a named attribute directory or named attribute and are mentioned in the immediately preceeding section. Aside from that contradiction, many implementations might allow named attributes on symbolic likes or special files. The existing text would require NFS4ERR_NOTSUPP rather than NFS4ERR_WRONG_TYPE to be returned in such cases, causing the client to conclude incorrectly that named attribute support is not present for the file system in question, or at least be uncertain about the presence/absence of such support. -------------------------------------- RFC5661 (draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-29) -------------------------------------- Title : Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol Publication Date : January 2010 Author(s) : S.
