Good question. I will check on it as soon as I have a chance.

It had seemed the test data had been placed on the MDS and not the DS'es? Any idea why? Any chance you forgot to modprobe nfslayoutdriver? BTW, this requirement just changed with a patch merge today that should automatically load the nfsv41 files layout driver on the client.

I have successfully set up a 3-node testbed and ran some benchmark since. Unfortunately, throughput results are very poor. > > I am running Steve's 2.6.33.5-112.2.2.pnfs.fc13.x86_64 kernel, and exported a 28GB ramfs from my DS to the MDS. I was able to achieve ~400 MB/s over NFS using iozone. I then proceed to run the same test from the pNFS client and got only 50 MB/s. After detecting that my test data had landed on both the MDS and DS, I assumed disk I/O on the MDS was the bottleneck. So I proceeded to rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_PNFSD_LOCAL_EXPORT disabled, but achieved only 6 MB/s afterward. Is this expected, or am I doing something wrong?
