There isn't really any supported server-side pNFS. The closest is the GFS2-based code, for which you need to install Benny's latest tree, configure a shared block device, create a GFS2 filesystem on it, mount it across all DS's and the MDS, and export it from all of them--but I don't believe anyone has written step-by-step instructions for that. --b. > > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of J.
