Phone Conference, December 8th 2011
LinuxBox provided a branch with its pNFS code. The API is very different from the kernel's one, but the semantics are a bit different too. The discussion on these points is probably far from being closed.
Interface compiles with FSAL_CEPH. Test will be made with FSAL_GPFS (by Marc) and with FSAL_LUSTRE (by Philippe).
FSAL_SNMP and FSAL_GHOSTFS are officially deprecated. They'll be removed from the source tree. FSAL_POSIX is still used so it is kept. FSAL_TEMPLATE seems useful too (Adam used it when coding FSAL_CEPH) so it is kept as well.
Jim asked about FSAL_lookupJunction call. This is something pretty acquainted with HPSS that could be of interest when using referrals or using things like FedFS. Discussion will continue on the list if needed.
This wiki contains the the secret recipe to compile FSAL_LUSTRE. Instruction for installing libzfswrap in order to compile FSAL_ZFS are here.
Jim pushed his work on refactoring the FSALs. It's available for comment in branch 'panasas'.
