Description : This package contains the FedFS nfs-plugin run-time library. This
: package must be installed for FedFS junction support to be enabled
: in rpc.mountd.
:
: RFC 5716 introduces the Federated File System (FedFS, for short).
: FedFS is an extensible standardized mechanism by which system
: administrators construct a coherent file name space across
: multiple file servers using file system referrals.
:
: A file system referral is like a symbolic link to another file
: system share, but it is not visible to applications. It behaves
: like an auto-mounted directory where a new file system mount is
: done when an application first accesses that directory. The
: arguments of the mount operation are controlled by information
: returned by the file server.
:
: Today, file system referral mechanisms exist in several network
: file system protocols. FedFS provides its file name space features
: by leveraging referral mechanisms already built in to network file
: system protocols. Thus no change to file system protocols or
: clients is required.
:
: Currently, the Linux FedFS implementation supports only NFS
: version 4 referrals. More on NFS version 4 referrals can be found
: in RFC 3530. FedFS may support other network file system protocols
: in the future.
