The returned pnfs layouts together with a set of pseudo devices mentioned in it express a striping pattern. The devices indicate the location of each OSD, each of which is running a Ganesha data server. We're in the process of deepening our integration here, potentially switching to the next draft version of the pnfs object layout. This will increase the expressiveness of the stripe mappings we can do--as it is now, there is some impedence.
