Huh? I'm assuming you mean - it has *considerably* more features (4.1) than v3, *and if* you decide to use them it's noticeably more involved :-) > and all the examples (I've only gone through three of the many so far) > assume both ends are always going to be Debian hosts, with all the > same pkgs available etc. That's not a lot of examples - what did you want to use if for? > > Are there other advantages to nfs4 beyond fine grained access control? It's faster. (usually about 20-25% at a minimum) It has stateful capabilities. > In my case that will not even be a factor since its just me on both > ends. It's default with some distributions (Fedora) - if you don't want the additional capabilities don't configure them. If you don't know it's v4.1 it's pretty much the same thing to configure as v3. eg.s:- http://jkossen.nl/2009/05/12/simple-nfsv4-configuration-for-debian-and-ubuntu.html http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/debian/servers/setting-up-nfs4.jspx http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/nfs4-server-debian-ubuntu-linux/ NOTE: BSD configuration is basically the same - the only major changes from v3 is if you want to take advantage of the extra capabilities of v4.1. For your purposes you only need to know it's faster ;-) > > I've found some information comparing the two but no real down to > earth commentary telling what is better about nfs4 by some experienced > person told from a users perspective. > > http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=219433 http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_NFS_vs._others http://librenix.com/?page=Benchmark http://www.google.com/search?q=nfs4+performance+compared+to+nfs3+-%22need+for+speed%22+-samba+-games Cheers -- Iceweasel/Firefox extensions for finding answers to Debian questions:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
