Mount

  • Add scalable mounting (more efficient use of network resources; mountd connection caching)
  • Rewrite nfs(5)
  • Add real unit testing
  • Make error reporting more useful
  • Complete internationalization
  • Properly implement of break-back retries
  • Implement support for IPv6
  • Implement support for server failover options
  • Test "-o remount" -- handled by /usr/sbin/mount instead of /sbin/mount.nfs?

More notes

Rebuild the NFS server and client XDR layer from the ground up

  • More complete type checking and error reporting
  • Each function called with a simplified virtual API
  • All functions re-entrant so we can remove the BKL

NFS client build testing

  • Builds kernel with "allmodconfig" and "allyesconfig"
  • Automated - no user intervention once started
  • Tests all patches in a series
  • Later add more static analysis for each patch
