"pNFS will work with 32-bit linux and lesser hardware, but the you will
not obtain the performance benefits of pNFS."
That's just silly, and, I might even go so far as to say "wrong". The
benefits of direct-to-storage access, without an MDS middle-man, are
quite noticable even for 32-bit, underpowered, and/or embedded clients.
