They are automatically enabled when an XFS filesystem is exported. There is no requirement for the administrator to construct in layout, the only requirement for working block layouts is shared storage that is accessible to the NFS Server / MDS and the clients that wish to use pNFS‥ If you are interested in file layout support porting over the existing file layout drivers from the old pNFS server tree should only be a moderate effort, and at least the lexp code would be grately simplified by the common recall infrastructure in this series. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
