[LINK] The strange disappearance of UMICH´s NFSv4

[Fernando Cassia]

I think LINKers are the rigth audience for this.

As you know -or if not you should- NFS was the first IETF open source
protocol... with v4 developed back in 2003 and now at v4.1 with v4.2 in the
works of being ratified.

If you don´t know about NFSv4 read this

Linux supports NFSv4, and MSFT has promised NFS support in Win8 (IBIWISI).

An open source reference implementation IS (or WAS, see below) until late
2010 developed by the University of Michigan including a version for
Windows (which would be good news for those of us with windows machines
that still run XP, or WIn7).

Here´s a good overview of why NFSv4 matters, the differences between NFSv3
and v4, v4.1 and pNFS:

...this SNIA document is dated JUNE 2012, and still points to the UMICH site

Well, the bad news is that UMICH.edu´s CITI pages are completely gone, from
the /projects/ subfolder which includes the NFSv4 project to the
CITI.UMICH.EDU umbrella site itself.

Anyone has got any clue of what happened to this UMICH effort?

I tried contacting SNIA but to access the forum they want me to be a SNIA
member and to be a member, as an individual, they expect me to pay $100
USD/year to provide me with a log-in and password to the site.
No way José.
