Which storage protocol reduces file locks by using leasing?
Show answer
Answer: C
Explanation
With the NFS version 4 protocol, the support for file locking is part of the NFS protocol. The file locking support is structured so that an RPC callback mechanism is not required. This is a departure from the previous versions of the NFS file locking protocol, Network Lock Manager (NLM). The state associated with file locks is maintained at the server under a lease-based model. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=control-locking-in-nfs-version-4
