Title : Parallel NFS (pNFS) Flexible Files Layout

Abstract:
Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) to
allow clients to directly access file data on the storage used by the
NFSv4 server. This ability to bypass the server for data access can
increase both performance and parallelism, but requires additional
client functionality for data access, some of which is dependent on
the class of storage used, a.k.a. the Layout Type. The main pNFS
operations and data types in NFSv4 Minor version 1 specify a layout-
type-independent layer; layout-type-specific information is conveyed
using opaque data structures whose internal structure is further
defined by the particular layout type specification. This document
specifies the NFSv4.1 Flexible Files pNFS Layout as a companion to
the main NFSv4 Minor version 1 specification for use of pNFS with
Data Servers over NFSv4 or higher minor versions using flexible, per-
file striping topology.
