Please Whitelist This Site?
I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)
If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!
Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

NFS Server Procedures and Operations
(Page 1 of 3)
The actual exchange of information
between an NFS client and server is performed by the underlying Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) protocol. NFS functionality
is therefore described not in terms of specific protocol operations,
but by delineating the different actions that a client may take on files
residing on a server. In the original version of NFS, NFSv2, these are
called NFS server procedures.
Each procedure represents a particular
action that a client may perform, such as reading from a file, writing
to a file, or creating or removing a directory. The operations performed
on the file require that the file be referenced using a data structure
called a file handle. As the name suggests, the file handle,
like the handle of a real object, lets the client and server grasp
onto the file. The Mount
protocol is used to mount a file system,
to enable a file handle to be accessed for use by NFS procedures.
NFS version 3 uses the same basic
model for server procedures, but makes certain changes. Two of the NFSv2
procedures were removed, and several new ones added to support new functionality.
The numbers assigned to identify each procedure were also changed.
