Abstract:
Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends Network File System version 4.1(NFSv4.1)
to allow clients to directly access file data on the storage used by
the NFSv4.1 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, a.k.a. the Layout Type. The
main pNFS operations and data types in NFSv4 Minor version 1 specify
a layout-type-independent layer; layout-type-specific information is
conveyed using opaque data structures whose internal structure is
further defined by the particular layout type specification. This
document specifies the NFSv4.1 Lustre pNFS Layout Type as a
companion to the main NFSv4 Minor version 1 specification.
