IPv6 support in pNFS

IPv6 support in pNFS

[Jiri Kortus]

Hi,

I'm sorry to flood the mailing list by repeating my question several 
times - I've already asked whether someone would be so kind as to tell 
me something about the situation of IPv6 support in pNFS. Just anything 
related to it would be appreciated very much since nobody gave me an 
answer (except Boaz Harrosh who wrote me about the IPv6 absence in OSD 
target). I'd like to know whether there's any support for IPv6 
(concerning all of the layouts available), if yes what are the issues 
with that, if not when the implementation is planned to start etc. I did 
google that a lot before asking but haven't found anything. Thanks very 
much in advance.

Best regards,

Jiri Kortus

I implemented IPv6 support in the rest of Linux NFS, but since the Linux 
pNFS implementation  is still under development, I haven't looked at 
supporting IPv6 in pNFS.

Hi

The file layout client does not currently have the ability to store  
ipv6 addresses in the data server cache. So even though the data  
servers themselves support ipv6 (via a NFSv4.1 connection), and the  
GETDEVICEINFO for the file layout can communicate ipv6 addresses the  
pNFS file layout client will not use them. This is a feature that is  
on the 'B' list of pNFS features to implement.

Thanks very much both to you and to Chuck Lever for providing some 
information about it!
