Hi Philippe, The instructions are documented here: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_Block_Server_Setup_Instructions I have added a section on the block layout client to the Fedora client setup wiki page: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora_pNFS_Client_Setup For now the isntructions apply to Fedora, which is what we test with. Eventually I will make this more generic.
