pNFS: Single Node pNFS Server

Hello all,

To help with the testing of pNFS clients, I making available a single node pNFS server (the pnfsd-lexp branch of Benny's git tree) in Fedora based kernel and nfs-utils RPMs. This server only supports file layouts.

Your need to be running a Fedora 16 to use these RPMs. The RPMs are in a yum repository. Download this repo:

http://steved.fedorapeople.org/pnfs.repo
and then do a yum update on a F16 machine.

Or you can access the RPMs directly at
http://steved.fedorapeople.org/repos/pnfs/devel/

The patches used to create the RPMs ar at:

    http://steved.fedorapeople.org/repos/pnfs/devel/pnfsd-3.3.0-0.rc2.git1.1.patch
    http://steved.fedorapeople.org/repos/pnfs/devel/pnfs-export-1.2.5-11.patch

Happy hunting!

steved.

Thanks Steve!

The required config options are:
CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y
CONFIG_PNFSD=y
CONFIG_PNFSD_LOCAL_EXPORT=y

The following config options are optional and may break your client:
CONFIG_PNFSD_LEXP_LAYOUT_SEGMENTS=y CONFIG_PNFSD_LEXP_LAYOUT_SEGMENT_SIZE=65536
