That's just silly, and, I might even go so far as to say "wrong".
The benefits of direct-to-storage access, without an MDS middle-man,
are quite noticable even for 32-bit, underpowered, and/or embedded
clients.
Agreed. It used to say 64-bit only, and I added the part about 32-bit
because it does run on 32-bit, but really that should just come out. I'll
fix it.
Thanks.
I'd also say, with my networking hat on, the VLAN statement is
unqualified. VLAN is not necessary for pNFS, but the way the statement
reads to me, I get the opposite impression.
pNFS works quite well if you're just a 1U client with a single NIC, for
example.
