Usually this protocol is using TCP as its transport and usually it will only send notifications to those peers where a file lock is being held using the NLM protocol. These notifications of a peer reboot is issued by the rebooting client when the service restarts based on information for whom to notify recorded on stable storage. (Good DOS attack for NFS is to capture a lot of filehandles and then send NLM requests to the server for them and just leave the locks hanging until someone reboots the server). This is really important for NFS since locks held by a client will never time-out and never be automatically released othervise. The purpose of this protocol is to allow a client and /or a server to inform all its peers when the service has restarted so any hanging locks can be released or reclaimed. The NSM protocol is used for NFS versions 2 and 3 to inform peers about reboots in particular so that file locks can be cleaned up. Internal and external resources are used efficiently, on schedule, and under budget, thanks to resource management.Since NFS is a lot less stateless than many documents claim, reality requires NFS to keep track of state changes due to events like client or server restarts/reboots. Resource Management Resource management refers to the process of obtaining, allocating, and managing resources for a project, such as people and their expertise, budgets, technology, materials, machinery, and natural resources.
