Hi Tim, At this time, the NFS plug in is on the to-do list. We are looking at taking the NFS4shell (on sourceforge) and using it to generate NFS4 protocol requests from userland.
Today, there are a few minor changes required to make the plugin; 99% of all I/O operations are in the flowop_library.c file. The desire is to make this dynamically loadable, and allow different backends to be configured. The 1% of file-related system calls are in the fileset.c and fileobj.c. These need to have callbacks into the backend so that their use of file operations is included in the module. Out of interest, are you able to share what backend you want to build? Thanks, Richard.
