I'm happy to submit the auto-login support to pnfs-objects protocol. Please see individual patches for explanations. It was heavily tested and performs very well. Submitted, as usual, a patch to pnfsd-exofs that enables this in the pnfs Server Then follows a modest patch to the pnfs-obj client layout-driver. And last a patch to the nfs-utils package with a script that executes the login. We currently only support the iscsi://ip_addr:ip_port URI protocol. But other are easy to add by modifying the script, as the Kernel part is just a transparent pass through between the Server and the osd_login script. Benny: As the editor of the STD please review and confirm List of Patches: [PATCH 1/4] pnfsd-exofs: Add autologin support to exofs This patch is for Benny's pnfsd tree. Thanks [PATCH 2/4] pnfs-obj: Remove unused variable from objlayout_get_deviceinfo(). Trond: This is not important just something found when coding. [PATCH 3/4] pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin Trond: If at all possible to make the merge window with this one It would be great. Thanks. [PATCH 4/4] osd_login: Add autologin script for objlayoutdriver. Steve D: This patch is for you. Thanks a million man, it made the complete code Kernel and user-mode 1/7 the size Cheers Thanks Sachin & Boaz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
