Network File System (NFS) Overview
With the NFS protocol, a server appliance can act as a Network File System (NFS) server.
Users can then share files in a mixed environment of computers, operating systems, and
networks.
Users on computers running NFS client software can access shares on the server appliance
by connecting, or mounting, those shares to their computers.
UNIX computers follow advisory locking for all lock requests. This means that the OS
does not enforce lock semantics on a file, and applications that check for the existence of
locks can use these locks effectively. However, the NFS Protocol implements mandatory
locks even for those locking requests that are received through NFS. This ensures that locks
acquired through NFS are visible through the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and
to applications accessing the files locally. The OS enforces mandatory locks.
