This series adds support the pNFS SCSI layout to both the NFS server and client. It's a fairly simple extension to the existing block layout drivers, which relies on the Persistent Reservation API in the block layer merged a while ago. On the server side we will now always export SCSI devices a SCSI layout. I though about allowing exports of multiple layour types for the same file system, but both the not really production ready nature of block layout fencing, and the horrors of passing options to NFS exports made me go with the simple way for now. -- 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
