Oracle Linux kernel engineer Calum Mackay provides some insight into the new features for NFS in release 6 of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). UEK R6 is based on the upstream long-term stable Linux kernel v5.4, and introduces many new features compared to the previous version UEK R5, which is based on the upstream stable Linux kernel v4.14. In this blog, we look at what has been improved in the UEK R6 NFS client & server implementations. Server-side Copy (NFSv4.2...
