Welcome to the NFS-Ganesha Project.
The nfs-ganesha project is developing Open Source solutions for NFS and 9P based file servers. The development of nfs-ganesha started at CEA, Paris, France as a solution to providing NFS access to their tape archive library. It has grown into a full featured file server that supports NFSv3, NFSv4.0, NFSv4.1, and NFSv4.2. We have even thrown in 9P protocol support.
NEWS
NFS-Ganesha V4.0 is now available. Check out the nfs-ganesha project page for more details details including the Release Status.
Our active projects and their source repositories
We currently manage several inter-related projects,
nfs-ganesha
Nfs-ganesha is the main file server project. It supports both the NFS and 9P protocols. The NFS support includes NFSv3 with integrated NLM (lock manager) and MNT (mountd) services. It also supports NFSv4 including pNFS (v4.1) and a subset of V4.2 commands. For further information, check the nfs-ganesha wiki. The source code can be found in the git repository.
The issue tracker here is the best place to bring issues to our attention however, if you have patches to submit, we use GerritHub for that, please see src/CONTRIBUTING_HOWTO.txt for code contributions.
mooshika
This project has not been worked on in quite some time and is not currently tested or supported
Mooshika is a relatively new project that provides an RDMA abstraction layer for protocol transport. It does not yet have a wiki but the source code can be found in the git repository.
ntirpc
Libntirpc is a significant extension of the Sun tirpc library. It supports full-duplex RPC over UDP/TCP. Its source code is in the git repository.
The issue tracker here is the best place to bring issues with ntirpc itself. Code submissions are accepted by pull request.
