pNFS layered over cluster FS(such as GFS2), DLM implement layoutget(a pnfs export operations) but it not support IOMODE_RW, that is write data must via meta data server, -->> is this the status quo?

the MDS' layoutget will support IOMODE_RW and client will RW data via data server in the future?
or is there any support for: howto parellel R&W data via data server?

thanks!

This is up to the implementation.

The linux gfs2 pnfs patches implement a very simple prototype.
