They can also be found at the branch wave4-submit-1 at git://linux-nfs.org/~iisaman/linux-pnfs.git These patches give write functionality to the pnfs file layout driver. The primary limitation is that we have not yet modified the commit code, so we can not yet handle COMMITs to the data server. We get around this for the moment by sending any WRITE to a data server which does not have commit-to-mds set as a SYNCH write. The next patchset will address this limitation. Fred
