Title : Implementation Guide for Referrals in NFSv4
Author(s) : D. Noveck, D. Noveck
Filename : draft-noveck-nfsv4-referrals-00.txt
Pages : 24

RFC3530 describes a migration feature using the NFS4ERR_MOVED error
code and the fs_locations attribute. The description focuses on
the case of migration (i.e. relocation) of a file system already
known to the client. The simpler limiting case in a which a file
system not previously known to the client was located elsewhere,
which we here call a referral, was not clearly described. Because
of this and also because of some inconsistencies and ambiguities in
the text of RFC3530, there has been confusion about how the client
and server should interact in performing a referral. This document
provides a guide to the implementation of referrals, and in so
doing, addresses the relevant problems in RFC3530.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
