Hi, (Apologizing for posting here, in the #linux-nfs channel no one answered...) I'm reading about pNFS server implementation in Linux with iSCSI and I'm afraid that the docs in linux-nfs.org don't help a lot when it comes to understanding the iSCSI block share.. Here is a simple scenario: Machine A is iSCSI Target, which will share a LUN to pNFS Machine B is pNFS Server (which will be also MDS) Machines C,D,E - Linux clients. If I understood the docs correctly, I'll need to run an iSCSI initiator on Machine B to discover the LUN from machine A, blkmapd will mount it, I'll need to format it (using parted), and only then i can share this LUN? If so, I can do this today using even NFS v3 without pNFS, unless I really missed something. Could someone share some info about iSCSI LUN sharing with pNFS, and if possible - a simple example would be welcome (links are welcome too ... ;) ) Thanks -- 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
