rdma mount support

rdma mount support

[Brett Jon Grandbois]

Hi,

Are there any plans on the horizon for including NFS/RDMA support in
nfs-utils?  We're using the NFS/RDMA ONC Transport but that currently
requires the use of a separate nfsrdmamount binary and we'd eventually
like to just call standard mount(8).  Are there any plans for adding
RDMA support in mount.nfs?  Or maybe adding a whole separate
mount.nfsrdma?  There are a few ways to go with this and we'd like to
find out if there's a direction everyone is leaning towards so we don't
end up taking the wrong one.

I suppose we will eventually put RDMA support into mount.nfs, but given
that there is no support for NFS/RDMA in the kernel itself yet, there
should be no hurry.

Cheers,
