A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Network File System Version 4 of the IETF. Title : Parallel NFS (pNFS) Flexible File Layout Authors : Benny Halevy Thomas Haynes Filename : draft-ietf-nfsv4-flex-files-08.txt Pages : 33 Date : 2016-05-09 Abstract: The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows a separation between the metadata (onto a metadata server) and data (onto a storage device) for a file. The flexible file layout type is defined in this document as an extension to pNFS to allow the use of storage devices in a fashion such that they require only a quite limited degree of interaction with the metadata server, using already existing protocols. Client side mirroring is also added to provide replication of files.
