currently there are no productized RDMA-enabled NFS servers anywhere.
there are two server prototypes i am aware of, neither of which are open
source.

to take advantage of RDMA, both client *and* server must support direct
data placement.  that is a significant modification of the RPC client
and server.  we are working towards that goal now, but we won't have
anything for quite some time on Linux.

there are three internet drafts available describing NFS/RDMA and
proposing NFSv4 sessions to help manage RDMA transports.  use google and
search for "Talpey NFS RDMA" (Talpey is one of the authors of these
drafts).

the open source Linux NFS/RDMA project is described here:
