I too would like to see what are minimal change set would be... Just to see how much a db is really needed... If at all.. Now with that said... I've taken on the task of how to deal with pNFS exports and it might make sense that a db is need to deal with that complexity... So I'm not totally against the idea of introducing a db to nfs-utils I just think we need to do it for the right reason.... steved.
