The IESG has received a request from the Network File System Version 4 WG (nfsv4) to consider the following document: - 'Parallel NFS (pNFS) SCSI Layout' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout-06.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2016-07-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows a separation between the metadata (onto a metadata server) and data (onto a storage device) for a file. The SCSI Layout Type is defined in this document as an extension to pNFS to allow the use SCSI based block storage devices. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
