Title : Support for posix_fadvise Author(s) : Dean Hildebrand Trond Myklebust Sam Falkner Filename : draft-hildebrand-nfsv4-fadvise-02.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2011-07-07 This document proposes a new FADVISE operation for NFSv4.2 to support the posix_fadvise function. FADVISE will communicate expected application behavior to the server, allowing servers to optimize future I/O requests for a file. The posix_fadvise function is supported in Linux and many other operating systems and is starting be widely used by applications. In addition, the FADVISE operation can communicate other application directions such as the use of direct I/O.
