The IESG has received a request from the Network File System Version 4 WG (nfsv4) to consider the following document: - 'Requirements for pNFS Layout Types' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-layout-types-03.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-04-16. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document provides help in distinguishing between the requirements for Network File System (NFS) version 4.1's Parallel NFS (pNFS) and those those specifically directed to the pNFS File Layout. The lack of a clear separation between the two set of requirements has been troublesome for those specifying and evaluating new Layout Types. As this document clarifies RFC5661, it effectively updates RFC5661. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-layout-types/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-layout-types/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
