Title : Parallel NFS (pNFS) Flexible File Layout
Authors : Benny Halevy

Filename : draft-ietf-nfsv4-flex-files-01.txt
Pages : 24

Abstract:
The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows a separation between
the metadata and data for a file. The metadata file access is
handled via Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) minor version 1
(NFSv4.1) and the data file access is specific to the protocol being
used between the client and storage device. The client is informed
by the metadata server as to which protocol to use via a Layout Type.
The Flexible File Layout Type is defined in this document as an
extension to NFSv4.1 to allow the use of storage devices which need
not be tightly coupled to the metadata server.
