Hi, Ze Li.

You can't build a fully working pNFS server based on VFS. The issue is that the various DSs aren't communicating with each other, or with the MDS, and so no server can tell what's written to or read from any other, and consistency cannot be maintained. This is the part (the server-to-server communication) that is provided by the clustered filesystem.

It would be possible to write a proof-of-concept pNFS implementation for VFS, where it's just assumed that the client does the right thing, but this would corrupt data if there was ever any kind of error, so no one has written this yet.
