You can use rpc.nfsd -for this; see rpc.nfsd(8). - -(Warning: older servers will interpret "+4.1" and "-4.1" as "+4" and -"-4", respectively. Therefore, code meant to work on both new and old -kernels must turn 4.1 on or off *before* turning support for version 4 -on or off; rpc.nfsd does this correctly.) - -The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based -on RFC 5661. - -From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation -focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing -"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the -resources allocated for each client. - -The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists -the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional -(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI) -in minor version 1.
