Didn't see it mentioned in the README, so I'll ask here: any particular reason to go NFSv3 vs NFSv4? I'm not familiar enough with the protocol to venture an educated guess.
- willscott 6y agoV4 has many more things going on (it's stateful, has a much more complicated locking system integrated, and adds some other points of complexity that get better performance). More than I was ready to take on for a first pass :)
- anderspitman 6y agoYou had me at stateful
- yencabulator 6y agoFor what it's worth, stateful is a good thing; NFSv4 leases are what allows it to safely do more aggressive caching than NFSv3. Back when it was new, benchmarks showed a good speed increase all around...
- anderspitman 6y agoStateful isn't inherently good or bad. It's a tradeoff. But the more programming I do the less I think it's a tradeoff worth making.
- yencabulator 6y agoIn the context of NFS, it's a trade-off that enabled higher performance (and some new features too).
