Seems the thread didn't get any reply for quite a long time.
I'm trying to set up pNFS block layout MDS/DS server, and some
similar questions as Phil.
- For block layout, is it necessary to make DS export nfs share?
- How could add a block layout DS into pNFS server?
- Does spnfs also work for block layout/
Thanks,
Jun
