Tom, can you update us on NFS-RDMA?

> NFSoRDMA integration. I would like to see a status report on NFS/RDMA from the people who want it in OFED. As I understand it there are many core kernel changes required for this -- switchable transports and also mount option changes? As far as I can tell from the outside, the NFS/RDMA effort seems to have stalled -- whenever I talk to core NFS developers like Chuck Lever or Trond Myklebust, they say that they are just waiting for the NFS/RDMA developers to submit their changes for review. And I haven't seen any patches for a kernel newer that 2.6.18, so things look quite out-of-date. Without visible progress towards getting NFS/RDMA into mergeable form soon, I think putting it into OFED 1.3 as anything other than a technology preview that may be dropped from future releases would be a very risky think to do. Otherwise OFED risks getting stuck maintaining the whole NFS/RDMA stack, since the development effort outside of OFED really looks to me like it is fizzling out. - R. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
