.Sh NAME

|
.Nm nfs-stablerestart
|
|
.Nd restart information for the
|
|
.Tn NFSv4
|
|
server
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm nfs-stablerestart
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file holds information that allows the
|
|
.Tn NFSv4
|
|
server to restart without always returning the NFSERR_NOGRACE error, as described in the
|
|
.Tn NFSv4
|
|
server specification; see
|
|
.%T "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Protocol RFC 3530, Section 8.6.3" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first record in the file, as defined by struct nfsf_rec in
|
|
/usr/include/fs/nfs/nfsrvstate.h, holds the lease duration of the
|
|
last incarnation of the server and the number of boot times that follows.
|
|
Following this are the number of previous boot times listed in the
|
|
first record.
|
|
The lease duration is used to set the grace period.
|
|
The boot times
|
|
are used to avoid the unlikely occurrence of a boot time being reused,
|
|
due to a TOD clock going backwards. This record and the previous boot times with this boot time added is re-written at the
|
|
end of the grace period.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The rest of the file are appended records, as defined by
|
|
struct nfst_rec in /usr/include/fs/nfs/nfsrvstate.h and are used
|
|
represent one of two things. There are records which indicate that a
|
|
client successfully acquired state and records that indicate a client's state was revoked.
|
|
State revoke records indicate that state information
|
|
for a client was discarded, due to lease expiry and an otherwise
|
|
conflicting open or lock request being made by a different client.
|
|
These records can be used
|
|
to determine if clients might have done either of the
|
|
edge conditions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a client might have done either edge condition or this file is
|
|
empty or corrupted, the server returns NFSERR_NOGRACE for any reclaim
|
|
request from the client.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For correct operation of the server, it must be ensured that the file
|
|
is written to stable storage by the time a write op with IO_SYNC specified
|
|
has returned. This might require hardware level caching to be disabled for
|
|
a local disk drive that holds the file, or similar.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
If the file is empty, the NFSv4 server has no choice but to return
|
|
NFSERR_NOGRACE for all reclaim requests. Although correct, this is
|
|
a highly undesirable occurrence, so the file should not be lost if
|
|
at all possible. The backup copy of the file is maintained
|
|
and used by the
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
to minimize the risk of this occurring.
|
|
To move the file, you must edit
|
|
the nfsd sources and recompile it. This was done to discourage
|
|
accidental relocation of the file.
