hi, sorry for the late reply, and thanks Bruce! The linux-pnfs tree is here: git://linux-nfs.org/~bhalevy/linux-pnfs.git What layout type are you interested to test? Currently, the block layout back-end is not in an operational state and unfortunately it's not actively maintained. For the files layout, as Bruce mentioned, you can use the gfs2-based server that does parallel reads, but writes only via the MDS, and the pnfsd-lexp (local export) testing back end that exports a local file system over pnfs, playing both the MDS and a single DS on the server. The objects layout can be tested using the pnfsd-exofs back end, which is the most complete implementation right now. Again, as Bruce correctly pointed out :) Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> would be able to help you with that.
