Hi Philippe,

The instructions are documented here:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_Block_Server_Setup_Instructions

The development kernel is the current one, pnfs-all-latest branch.
and the nfs utils are here:
git://linux-nfs.org/~bhalevy/pnfs-nfs-utils.git

You'll now need the user mode daemon: blkmapd
After make and make install, see man (8) blkmapd

Jim, mind taking a look at the wiki page and update it,
in particular anything regarding blkmapd?

Benny
