It would need some higher level, network aware test harness: Thanks. I got as far as doing a quick manual test with vm's sharing a "disk": [root@f21-2]# mount -overs=4.1 f21-1:/exports/xfs-pnfs /mnt/ [root@f21-2]# echo "hello world" >/mnt/testfile [root@f21-2]# grep LAYOUTGET /proc/self/mountstats LAYOUTGET: 1 1 0 236 196 0 4 4 I haven't tried to set up automated testing with recalls, but that shouldn't be hard. --b. > > ----- snip ----- > #!/bin/sh > > set +x > > # wait for grace period > touch /mnt/nfs1/foo > > dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs1/foo bs=128M count=32 conv=fdatasync oflag=direct & > > sleep 2 > > echo "" > /mnt/test/foo && echo "recall done" _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
