Sun's NFS mib was based on the statistics of their own NFS server implementation at that time. The Linux nfsd provides different characteristics. The nearest I can find is a draft (?) MIB for NFSv4. NFSv4 isnt used in our environment yet, so I didnt look any further into this MIB.

How should I go about claiming a enterprise number? Does this involve writing an RFC?
