Hi!
I'm trying to setup a pNFS cluster, but I'm unable to find any
meaningful documentation about it.
I understand I have to setup a bunch of NFSv4.1 enabled systems as well
as a Metadata service and a "layout agent" on the client nodes but I'm
not able to find any infos about setting up the Metadata service or even
the layout agent, nor am I able to find information about what version
of the nfsutils I should use.
Is there a nice documentation that I could use somewhere (Any
distribution is fine, I can adapt).
Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Ben - MPSTOR.

The only all-linux pNFS implementations have been out-of-tree
prototypes. The exception is Christoph's block server, just merged.
I put some very rough instructions (and warnings) here:
