Sun's <acronym>NFS</acronym> protocol provides transparent remote access to
|
|
shared file systems across networks. The <acronym>NFS</acronym> protocol is
|
|
designed to be machine, operating system, network architecture, and
|
|
transport protocol independent. This independence is achieved through the
|
|
use of Remote Procedure Call (<acronym>RPC</acronym>) primitives built on
|
|
top of an eXternal Data Representation (<acronym>XDR</acronym>).

The supporting MOUNT protocol performs the operating system-specific
|
|
functions that allow clients to attach remote folder trees to a point
|
|
within the local file system. The mount process also allows the server to
|
|
grant remote access privileges to a restricted set of clients via export
|
|
control.</para>

The Lock Manager provides support for file locking when used in the
|
|
<acronym>NFS</acronym> environment. The Network Lock Manager
|
|
(<acronym>NLM</acronym>) protocol isolates the inherently stateful aspects
|
|
of file locking into a separate protocol.</para>
