Hey nice! a pnfs client for FBSD. Do you have a preliminary design
for multiple layout-drivers like in Linux with a vector table?
Should I be looking into objects implementation?

Will not attend this time. Perhaps next time. Do you
have a public git tree for review?

Right now, it does "commit through MDS", which is what I am testing.
I wasn't actually looking for a server that does "commit through DS"
as hoping no-one would have one at the bakeathon, so I didn't need to
worry about coding that in the next couple of weeks. (However, if someone
does have one, I might get that coded for testing;-)

Not yet. I have tried to keep a fairly clean separation between the
generic layout stuff and the files layout specifics. I plan on starting
working on block layout stuff soon, in part to clean things up so that
other layouts can be added.

Well, it wouldn't be easy yet, but it would be great if you could do so
in a few months?

Not git, but svn...
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/projects/nfsv4.1-client
to look at it, or I think something like the following can be
used by an svn client to do a read-only checkout:
svn checkout http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/nfsv4.1-client
There is an entire FreeBSD kernel there, but the nfsv4 client
stuff is in sys/fs/nfsclient (with a little in sys/fs/nfs).
