The IESG has received a request from the Network File System Version 4 WG (nfsv4) to consider the following document: - 'Administration Protocol for Federated Filesystems' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-admin-11.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-28. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the administration protocol for a federated file system that enables file access and namespace traversal across collections of independently administered fileservers. The protocol specifies a set of interfaces by which fileservers with different administrators can form a fileserver federation that provides a namespace composed of the filesystems physically hosted on and exported by the constituent fileservers. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-admin/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-admin/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
