The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Parallel NFS (pNFS) SCSI Layout' (draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mirja Kühlewind and Spencer Dawkins. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout/ Technical Summary The NFS version 4.1 parallel Network File System (pNFS) feature allows a separation between the metadata (onto a metadata server) and data (onto a storage device) for a file. The SCSI Layout Type is defined in this document as an extension to NFSv4.1 to allow the use SCSI based block storage devices. Working Group Summary The working group has been supportive of this work with little contention over the approach represented within. This work is backed by implementation experience by the author in the Linux implementation. The Internet Draft, during its development, received review and comments -- resulting in necessary changes and moving towards working group consensus. Document Quality As mentioned above, there is an implementation of this protocol "extension" and this was the main reason for the existing of the I-D -- to bring that experience and implementation to the broader NFSv4 community. Given the individuals that reviewed and provided feedback, the overall quality of the document is very good. Personnel Document Shepherd: Spencer Shepler Area Director: Spencer Dawkins
