This is not generally safe with NFSv4. If vfs.nfsd.issue_delegations==1, then the server will allow NFS clients to delay flushing writes back to the server. The protocol handles multiple clients that want delegations for the same file, but it doesn't handle local access. So if somebody tries to automount a locally-hosted NFSv4 volume with delegations enabled, but accidentally mounts it with nullfs instead, file corruption could result. The simplest solution would be to never use nullfs if vfs.nfsd.issue_delgations==1. -Alan _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
