I'm curious if there is a NFSv4 roadmap beyond whats being done for pNFS. In particular, I'm curious if features of NFSv4 that haven't been implemented ever will be, such as LIPKEY support, NFS logging or improved fsid handling for psuedo-filesystems.
I see LIPKEY as interesting by providing an alternative to Kerberos. One of the clear objectives of NFSv4 was playing nice on the Internet and right now thats not practical. The Solaris implementation seems like a Kerberos or nothing environment; the reading I've done on AUTH_DH isn't terribly reassuring. PSARC 1999/289 made it sound as though it would come a later time. Regarding fsid handling, the Linux NFSv4 implemenation makes it easy to explicitly define fsid's to build psuedo-filesystems, however I see no way using the Solaris implementation to manage these. Insight is appreciated. benr.
