This document describes an extension to the pNFS protocol addressing 

  a gap related to the access permission checks to data servers used by 

  the MDS in layouts sent to the clients. The draft addresses both the 

  client access permission checks as well as the MDS access permissions 

  to the data servers. The draft will address new errors related to 

  access permission denial to devices included in valid pNFS layouts. 

  The draft will also address the case when clients request direct NFS 

  access to the MDS and the MDS has no permission to access some of the 

  data servers included in valid layouts.
