fwiw, I'm looking at being able to specify a remote DS for the next version of the flex file server. Is it worth considering that in the discussion being done in Andy's thread about "Configuring fs_locations on Linux upstream server pseudo fs for session trunking"? For example: /mds *(rw,pnfs,ff_ds=192.168.2.101.2049:/ds,insecure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash) And in the far future, I'd want it to be a multipath list. I don't see this as something that changes often and the exports seem like the most natural fit. -- 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
