Abstract:

   The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows for a file's metadata
   (MDS) and data (DS) to be on different servers.  When the metadata
   server is restarted, the client can still modify the data file
   component.  During the recovery phase of startup, the metadata server
   and the data servers work together to recover state (which files are
   open, last modification time, size, etc).  A problem with servers
   which do client side mirroring there is no means by which the client
   can report errors to the metadata server.  As such, the metadata
   server has to assume that file needs resilvering.  This document
   presents a refinement to RFC8435 to allow the client to update the
   metadata
