Where Can I Find Out More about NFS?

Version 2 and version 3 of the NFS protocol are described in RFC 1094 (version 2) (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1094.txt) and RFC 1813 (version 3) (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1813.txt). The WebNFS method of binding to the server is described in RFC 2054 (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2054.txt) (client side) and RFC 2055 (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2055.txt) (server side). The NFS URL scheme is specified in RFC 2224 (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2224.txt). The X/Open Specification for NFS including descriptions of the MOUNT protocol and Network Lock Manager protocol can be ordered from The Open Group (http://www.opengroup.org/publications/catalog/c525.htm). If you are interested in comparing the performance of NFS servers from various vendors, take a look at the SPEC SFS Suite benchmark (http://www.specbench.org/osg/sfs). NFS vendors also test their client and server implementations for interoperability at Connectathon. For information on the administration of NFS on Solaris clients and servers, check the NFS Administration Guide. If you would like to communicate with other NFS users, administrators, or developers, try the Newsgroup comp.protocols.nfs.
