uses the external data representation (XDR) protocol to ensure portable data transmission between NFS clients and the DataSafe NAS.

UNIX computers follow advisory locking for all lock requests. This means that the operating system does not enforce lock semantics on a file, and applications that check for the existence of locks can use these locks effectively. However, the NFS Service implements mandatory locks even for those locking requests that are received through NFS. This ensures that locks acquired through NFS are visible through the server message block (SMB) protocol and to applications accessing the files locally. Mandatory locks are enforced by the operating system.
