Re: NFS: pnfs ipv6 and multipath parsing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some clarification:

If ipv6.ko can't be found, this patch will still try to connect to the v6 address, fail (EIO) and revert to the MDS.

In order to properly handle this, we need to handle errors on connect and try another multipath address.  
I feel that this is really part of the other "half" of the multipath work (actually using more than one address), which we will get to very soon and should be treated as a separate patch.  Unless there are objections...
