Good morning!

For your consideration - we need FEEDBACK, please!

New is:
- 4th Spring-Release
- Support for Windows 11 copy-by-block-cloning, so *ALL* Windows 11
file copies are file clones if nfsd exports btrfs or xfs
- Improved Windows Extended Attribute (EA) support
- Sparse file support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file) for
HPC environments
- Symlink conversion, to make Windows symlinks exchangeable with other
NFS clients on other platforms
- Windows Server 2019 NFSv4.1 nfsd, Windows Server 2022 NFSv4.1 nfsd,
Solaris 11.4 NFSv4.1 nfsd and Illumos NFSv4.2 nfsd support
- Better WSL (Windows Services for Linux) support
- MSYS2 support
- Support for languages with wide characters (Japanese, Chinese,
Hindi, French...) in nfs://-URLs

Ced

P.S.: Thanks go to Roland Mainz&Tigran Mkrtchyan&DESY.de for the
ms-nfs41-client work, Corinna Vinschen for adding sparse file support
in Cygwin 3.5, and many others who helped with development and testing

Hi!

----

We've created a set of test binaries for the NFSv4.2/NFSv4.1
filesystem client driver for Windows 10 (32+64bit), Windows 11+Windows
Server 2019/2022 (64bit), based on
https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client (commit id
#0dc698b9c563c7958a52862ed10d0758f3522fb3, git bundle in tarball), for
testing and feedback.

** FULL release readme:

** Major changes since the last release:
- Support for FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE, which allows Windows 11
applications which use |CopyFile2()| (like cmd.exe  copy, xcopy.exe
etc) to copy files via block cloning. Requires NFSv4.2 NFS server with
{ CLONE, SEEK, DEALLOCATE } support, exporting a filesystem which
supports block cloning (e.g. btrfs, xfs). This includes correct
cloning of sparse files.
- Sparse file support (requires NFSv4.2 server { SEEK, ALLOCATE,
DEALLOCATE } and the |FATTR4_WORD1_SPACE_USED| attr), including
hole/data range enumeration, punching holes etc., e.g. $ fsutil sparse
queryrange mysparsefile #
- Improved Windows Extended Attribute (EA) support (requires NFS >=
v4.1 server with "Named Attribute" support ("OPENATTR")), including
create/read/write/delete
- Improved WSL support
- Support for Storage32-API (e.g. enables use of *.msi installer files
on NFS filesystems)
- Cygwin /usr/bin/svn and Windows '/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Git/cmd/git' now work
- Illumos NFSv4.2 server is now supported
- Solaris 11.4 NFSv4.1 server is now supported
- Windows Server 2022 NFSv4.1 server is now supported (compared to
WS2019 this NFS server version has ACL support)
