does the linux NFS client support for failover to a replica share (read-only share)

Hello linux-nfs mailing list.

I would like to know if the linux nfs client included in current
versions of the kernel supports fail-over to a replica on another nfs
server, I am using (manually) synchronized read-only shares...

I found very few information on Google about this topic and I suspect
this is not implemented.

I actually tried to setup this using SLES12SP1 (3.12.49 kernel) but I
failed so far. I am not attached to this distribution/version in
particular, just trying to see it working for real.

( I did some "rpcdebug -m nfs" session and it seems the fs_locations
is not getting properly populated on my setup )

Any confirmation this should work or not would actually help me.

THX.


note from the exports man page:

       replicas=path@host[+host][:path@host[+host]]
              If  the  client  asks for alternative locations for the
export point, it will be given this list of alternatives.
              (Note that actual replication of the filesystem must be
handled elsewhere.)
