Look here for instructions: http://linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_Setup_Instructions For file layout, you can compile the kernel with pnfs-lexp, which exports a local file system with pNFS file layout. I generally prefer to use object layout, because it allows me to physically separate the MDS from the data server. in order to set up object layout, compile the MDS with the exofs file system, and use it as your pNFS export. exofs requires an OSD rather than a plain block device, so look up for instructions on how to set this up. as for the client, the upstream client works, though if you want to use object layout you'll need scsi-initiator-utils. -- idank -- 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
