Hi, As we've discussed previously off-list, the general capability for library-based nfsv4(1) client access has a large number of potential applications all by itself. Thanks very much for making this available.
As the foregoing implies, I'm personally very interested in the potential for this codebase to be the basis for various performance-focused client development, including RDMA. I'll communicate in more detail about this after I've had a chance to work with the tc_client code and givee the whole thing a detailed review. Thanks again very much, Matt ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ming Chen" <v.mingc...@gmail.com> > To: nfs-ganesha-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, "Matt Benjamin" > <mbenja...@redhat.com> > Cc: "Erez Zadok" <e...@fsl.cs.sunysb.edu>, "Dean Hildebrand" > <dhil...@us.ibm.com>, "Geoff Kuenning" > <ge...@cs.hmc.edu>, "Donald Porter" <por...@cs.stonybrook.edu>, > yaz...@cs.stonybrook.edu, "Ashok Sankar Harihara > Subramony" <ashoksanka...@stonybrook.edu>, "Garima Gehlot" > <ggeh...@cs.stonybrook.edu>, "Jasmit Saluja" > <jsal...@cs.stonybrook.edu>, "Vishnu Vardhan Rajula" > <vraj...@cs.stonybrook.edu> > Sent: Wednesday, April 6, 2016 10:37:51 AM > Subject: NFS Transactional Compound Project > > Hi there, > > We have just created a github repo about our transactional NFS > compounds project: https://github.com/sbu-fsl/txn-compound > > The idea of the project is to take full advantage of NFSv'4 compound > procedures for better performance by using higher-level FS APIs.
