 == Detailed Description ==
-The latest version of the NFS protocol is version 4, which was

-first introduced in Fedora F-2 (the first distro to have such
-support). The current default NFS version is version 3. Meaning
-when an simple NFS mount is done (i.e. mount server:/export /mnt)
-version 3 is the first protocol version that is tried.
-With the proposed changes, version 4 would be tried first. If
-the server does not support version 4, the mount would then
-try version 3.
 == Benefit to Fedora ==
-One of the major benefit is performance. In version 4, the server

-now has state which means it can communicate with each
-NFS client. The means the server can issue things called
-delegations (or leases) for files allowing the v4 client
-to aggressively cache which drastically cuts down on
-network traffic between the client and server.
-There a number of other benefits which are documented in

-== Scope ==
+== How To Test ==
-There are basically three parts to make this happen:
+<!-- This does not need to be a full-fledged document.  Describe the dimensions of tests that this feature is expected to pass when it is done.  If it needs to be tested with different hardware or software configurations, indicate them.  The more specific you can be, the better the community testing can be.
-) Change the exports on the server so v3 and v2 exports
-   can *seamlessly* be used by v4 clients.
-) Change the mount command to start negotiating with the
+Remember that you are writing this how to for interested testers to use to check out your feature - documenting what you do for testing is OK, but it's much better to document what *I* can do to test your feature.
-   version 4 protocol and then fall back to version 3 if
-   the server does not support v4 (similar to what happens
-   today with version 3 and version 4)
-) Introduce a NFS mount configuration file where users
+A good "how to test" should answer these four questions:
-   can define which protocol version should be negotiated.
-== How To Test ==
+. What special hardware / data / etc. is needed (if any)?
-The usual Connectathon tests will be used and well as anyother
+. How do I prepare my system to test this feature? What packages
-filesystem tests that are available (such as fsx).
+need to be installed, config files edited, etc.?
+. What specific actions do I perform to check that the feature is
+working like it's supposed to?
+. What are the expected results of those actions?
+-->
 == User Experience ==
-This transition should be seamless to the users...
+<!-- If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result?  Describe what they will see or notice. -->
 == Dependencies ==
-The only dependency is on the nfs-utils package.
+<!-- What other packages (RPMs) depend on this package?  Are there changes outside the developers' control on which completion of this feature depends?  In other words, completion of another feature owned by someone else and might cause you to not be able to finish on time or that you would need to coordinate?  Other upstream projects like the kernel (if this is not a kernel feature)? -->
 == Contingency Plan ==
-If the code is not ready, then the version 3 will still be the default.
+<!-- If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan?  This might be as simple as "None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour."  Or it might not.  If you feature is not completed in time we want to assure others that other parts of Fedora will not be in jeopardy.  -->
 == Documentation ==
-http://www.nfsv4.org/
+<!-- Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself?  Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved. -->
+*
 == Release Notes ==
+<!-- The Fedora Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release.  Examples of past release notes are here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ -->
-*Fedora now use NFS version 4 as the default protocol version.
+<!-- The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns.  If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here.  You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need.  This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the documentation team and shipped with the release. -->

 <!-- When your feature page is completed and ready for review -->
 <!-- remove Category:FeaturePageIncomplete and change it to Category:FeatureReadyForWrangler -->
 <!-- After review, the feature wrangler will move your page to Category:FeatureReadyForFesco... if it still needs more work it will move back to Category:FeaturePageIncomplete-->
 <!-- A pretty picture of the page category usage is at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Process -->
-<!-- Note that the current Feature guidelines require useful Scope and Test Plans at certain milestones; QA is responsible for checking these, and will change this category as needed. -->
