Re: [nfsv4] I-D Action: draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-block-disk-protection-01.txt

This version contains a good reference for the GPT format.  Many thanks to Alex for his quick response with the info.

This version should be ready to go for WG chair review and submission for RFC publication as a Proposed Standard.

Thanks,
--David
