NFS Services Administrator's Guide (B.11.31.03) August 2008

Replicated Filesystems
A replicated filesystem contains the corresponding directory structures and identical
files. A replica (identical copy) of a filesystem consists of files of the same size and same
file type as the original filesystem.
HP recommends that you create these replicated filesystems using the rdist utility.
The rdist utility enables you to maintain identical copies of files on multiple hosts.
It preserves the owner, group, mode, modification time of files, and updates programs
that are running.
Enhanced NFS Logging
The NFS server logging enables an NFS server to provide a record of file operations
that are performed on its filesystems. The record includes information about the file
accessed, time of access, and the users who accessed the files. You can also specify the
location of the logs that contain this information. This feature is useful for sites that
make anonymous FTP archives available to NFS and WebNFS clients.
IPv6 Support
NFS supports filesystem mounting over an IPv4 or an IPv6 address where square
brackets enclose the IPv6 address.
The nsquery feature supports ipnodes lookup request and provides support to lookup
IPv6 data in the backend libraries.
