Managing NFSv4 file delegations

You can enable and disable NFSv4 file delegations and retrieve NFSv4 file delegation statistics.

  • Enabling or disabling NFSv4 read file delegations
    To enable or disable NFSv4 read file delegations, you can modify the -v4.0-read-delegation or -v4.1-read-delegation option. By enabling read file delegations, you can eliminate much of the message overhead associated with the opening and closing of files.
  • Enabling or disabling NFSv4 write file delegations
    To enable or disable write file delegations, you can modify the -v4.0-write-delegation or -v4.1-write-delegation option. By enabling write file delegations, you can eliminate much of the message overhead associated with file and record locking in addition to opening and closing of files.
