The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-versioning/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Housley has provided a Gen-ART review for -09 version of this document, and the author is responding to those comments. I did have one question that came up during AD Evaluation that I wanted to mention. The first two drafts that used this mechanism (umask and xattrs) used two different idioms for discovering support. The xaddrs draft defines an xaddr_support attribute, while umask does not. In conversations with the working group, the reasoning was that xattrs defines a number of operations, so discovering that the complete mechanism is supported before you start trying to use the attributes makes sense, while umask defines only one attribute, and for any attribute, you can find out if it is supported within a given file system by interrogating the appropriate bit position in the REQUIRED attribute supported_attrs, so there is no advantage to adding a umask_support attribute. That all made perfect sense to me, but the explanation was helpful enough to me that I wonder if it's worth a sentence or two, pointing out that some protocol designers may choose one idiom, while other protocol designers choose the other, and saying that's not a problem. If the answer is "that explanation isn't needed", that won't change my ballot position from Yes, of course.
