Pure-Go NFSv4 client

This library is a pure-Go client for NFSv4 (NFSv3 is NOT supported at all). It's mostly designed and tested for AWS EFS, but will work fine with Linux's nfs4-server or userspace-based Ganesha. It's fully synchronous, does nothing behind your back and fully supports context.Context-based cancellation and deadlines.

It's also a fairly minimal library with lots of limitations:

  1. No support for locking.
  2. No support for reconnection and session resumption.
  3. Minimalistic API.
  4. No support for ACLs or extended attributes.
  5. No support for any authentication methods.

Usage example

See cmd/main/runtests.go for the usage examples.

Regenerating the XDR bindings

If you need to regenerate the XDR bindings, then there's some manual work involved.

First use:

go run github.com/xdrpp/goxdr/cmd/goxdr -B -enum-comments -p internal internal/nfs4.x > internal/nfs4.go
go run github.com/xdrpp/goxdr/cmd/goxdr -b -enum-comments -p internal internal/rpc.x > internal/rpc.go

After this, manually do the following:

  1. Rename _u to _U.
  2. Rename xdrProc_NFSPROC4_COMPOUND to XdrProc_NFSPROC4_COMPOUND
  3. Rename xdrProc_NFSPROC4_NULL to XdrProc_NFSPROC4_NULL
  4. Change all the methods like XDR_Offset4(v *Offset4) XdrType_Offset4 to return pointers (not values).
