+ <body>
+ <p>A pNFS server allows an NFS service to be spread over
+ multiple servers, separating the MetaData operations from the
+ Data operations (Read/Write). This project will add the
+ capability of using &os; systems to create a pNFS service
+ consisting of a single MetaData Server, plus a set of Data
+ Servers. The Data Servers can be mirrored, so that redundant
+ copies of the file data are maintained.</p>
+
+ <p>The support for non-mirrored Data Servers is now believed
+ to be complete. Support for mirrored Data Servers using the
+ Flexible File Layout, which will soon be published as an RFC,
+ is implemented. However, there is still significant work to
+ be done, since the current implementation of mirrored Data
+ Servers does not handle failed Data Servers or their
+ resilvering/recovery. It is hoped that support for
+ failure/recovery of Data Servers will be implemented in the
+ next six months.</p>
+
+ <p>The patched &os; sources may now be accessed for testing
+ via either Subversion or download of a gzipped tarball.
+ They consist of a patched kernel plus nfsd daemon and can be
+ used on any &os; 11 or later system. The installation
+ procedure is covered in the linked document.</p>
