Seems the thread didn't get any reply for quite a long time. I'm trying to set up pNFS block layout MDS/DS server, and some similar questions as Phil. - For block layout, is it necessary to make DS export nfs share? - How could add a block layout DS into pNFS server? - Does spnfs also work for block layout/ Thanks, Jun -- 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
