The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Add LAYOUT_WCC to NFSv4.2's Flex File Layout Type' (draft-ietf-nfsv4-layoutwcc-07.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Zaheduzzaman Sarker and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-layoutwcc/ Technical Summary The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) Flexible File Layout allows for a file's metadata (MDS) and data (DS) to be on different servers. It does not provide a mechanism for the data server to update the metadata server of changes to the data part of the file. The client has knowledge of such updates, but lacks the ability to update the metadata server. This document presents a refinement to RFC8435 to allow the client to update the metadata server to changes on the data server. Working Group Summary Agreement was reached across the WG for this draft. This draft was relatively uncontroversial. Nothing has been threatened or no particular conflict present. Document Quality There are some significant implementations (in Linux) but not broadly yet beyond Linux. There is at least one server implementation. The Linux implementation is part of the kernel mainline, and so included in all distributions. This is, however, an optional feature. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Christopher Inacio. The Responsible Area Director is Zaheduzzaman Sarker. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
