= Proposed Self Contained Change: NFS Ganesha File Server = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NFSGanesha Change owner(s): Jim Lieb <lieb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> NFS Ganesha is a user mode file server that supports NFSv3, NFSv4, and NFSv4.1 including pNFS for distributed filesystems. It uses loadable filesystem driver modules to support its backend filesystems. It also integrates 9P.2000L file service. == Detailed Description == NFS Ganesha is a user-mode file server for NFS (v3, v4.0 , v4.1 pNFS) and for 9P from the Plan9 UNIX O/S. It integrates with backend filesystems via its File System Abstraction Layer (FSAL) which is a set of loadable modules that implement the access to these filesystems. Using a FSAL is similar to FUSE in that the whole filesystem can be implemented in user space. This is especially advantagious for pNFS and distributed filesystems where storage is distributed across a network. For backend (FSAL) modules than can be supported , see Change Page. Those FSALs labeled as Yes are packaged for Fedora. Those labeled Not Yet require upstream packages that are not available yet. Those labeled No cannot be packaged with Fedore either due to licensing or availability. NFS Ganesha supports pNFS as both a metadata server (MDS) and a data server (DS). It supports both files and object layouts for depending on what is supported by the underlying filesystem. == Scope == This is a new package based on the new V2.0.0 upstream release. No other changes to the system are required. * Proposal owners: The upstream just released (DEC 2013) V2.0.0. Initial packaging is complete and accepted. The package will be updated during the development period to the latest stable release. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
