Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stateless file servers require that each client request is self-contained, which means that all the necessary information to locate the file and perform the requested operation is provided by the client in the request. Stateless servers do not maintain any information about the states of open files or which clients have exported volumes, nor are they inherently more secure than stateful servers.
