We just delivered Mirror Mounts for NFSv4! What a group effort. I love how teammates come out of the woodwork to help you
get the final touches on a project. The code was putback today and you should start
seeing it in build 77. I'll leave you with a teaser of things to come:
The putback for
PSARC 2007/563 Add _AT_TRIGGER to fstatat(2)
PSARC 2007/416 NFSv4 Mirror-mounts
5035401 allow clients to cross server filesystem boundaries if the fs is visible
6613892 nftw(3C) has potential security issues
enhances the NFSv4 clients to automatically mount filesystems when they
are encountered at the NFSv4 server; this enhancement does not require
the use of the automounter and therefore does not rely on the content
or propagation of automounter maps. An example of the utility of this
feature is in the presence of ZFS at the NFS server. With the ease of
creation and management of numerous ZFS filesystems, the enhanced NFSv4
client will immediately provide access to the newly created and shared
ZFS filesystems.
And here is a roll call:
Core team:
Calum Mackay: Cambridge, UK (team lead)
Tom Haynes: Tulsa, OK, senior engineer
Bill Baker: Austin, TX, srstaff engr/architect/advisor
Rob Thurlow: Ft Collins, CO, senior engr/advisor
Spencer Shepler: Austin, TX, srstaff engr/RTI advocate/advisor
Helen Chao: Menlo Park, CA, QE lead
Lily Li: Beijing, QE engineer
Evan Layton: Broomfield, CO, engineer
Alok Aggarwal: Atlanta, GA, engineer
Rich Brown: Chicago, IL, sr engr/PSARC Intern
And there were more who stepped up and made significant contributions
to get the work out of the door.
