Spencer's notes on NFS theShepler

Friday Feb 04, 2005

A brief introduction. I have been at Sun since March 1998. I finished school at Purdue in 1989 and since that time I have been involved with NFS development. First with IBM's AIX and then the Solaris implementation.

Since joining Sun, I have been involved with the development of the NFSv4 protocol. Currently, I am the IETF NFSv4 working group co-chair along with Beepy.

Most of what I plan to write about is related to NFSv4 as it develops within the and the Solaris implementation of those protocols. There may be the occasional personal tidbit but we'll see how things go.

Awesome!!! Welcome to the era of the blogger. I can speak for many when I say that anything and everything you have to share about NFSv4, technical, directional, motivational, anything, would be of great great interest to us. Not to mention learning a bit about you personally too. How does NFSv4 fit into a world constantly interested in developing larger filesystems like AFS, CODA, Intermezzo, GFS, etc? Why isn't NAS dieing altogether? What does co-chair of the IETF NFSv4 working group do on saturdays? NFSv4 is a huge leap forward and facinating... I look forward to your future blog entries. :)
