----- Forwarded message from rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org ----- To: ietf-announce@ietf.org, rfc-dist@rfc-editor.org Subject: RFC 5663 on Parallel NFS (pNFS) Block/Volume Layout From: rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org Cc: rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org, nfsv4@ietf.org Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:07:38 -0800 (PST) A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5663 Title: Parallel NFS (pNFS) Block/Volume Layout Author: D. Black, S. Fridella, J. Glasgow Status: Standards Track Date: January 2010 Mailbox: black_david@emc.com, stevef@nasuni.com, jglasgow@aya.yale.edu Pages: 28 Characters: 68571 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-block-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5663.txt Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends Network File Sharing version 4 (NFSv4) to allow clients to directly access file data on the storage used by the NFSv4 server. This ability to bypass the server for data access can increase both performance and parallelism, but requires additional client functionality for data access, some of which is dependent on the class of storage used. The main pNFS operations document specifies storage-class-independent extensions to NFS; this document specifies the additional extensions (primarily data structures) for use of pNFS with block- and volume-based storage. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
