  Hello,
  
  I've just updated the kernel and nfs-utils rpms in the pNFS development 
  repository to include:
      * The latest nfs-utils release (pnfs-nfs-utils-1-2-4-rc5)
      * The latest pNFS kernel bits (pnfs-all-2.6.38-2011-03-25)
  
  These latest bits are *only* in the Fedora 15 repo. The Fedora 13, 14 
  repos remained the same and the devel (or rawhide) repo was removed.

Do these builds include the following patch?  I sent it to the list on Feb
23 but don't see it in Benny's repo.

Subject: [PATCH] fix stripe device size calculation for layouts not a multiple of stripe unit

If a complex layout has a stripe volume in it, and that volume has a size
that is not a multiple of the stripe unit, the total layout size will be
wrong because it is based on the truncated stripe volume size.  Fix this by
using the truncated size for making the mapped device, and the untruncated
size in the table for subsequent devices to use.

Also remove the warning for stripe volumes not a multiple of the stripe
width, since this is legal and apparently common.

While we're at it, use variable names consistent with the terminology in
rfc5661 section 13.2.
