Abstract

Parallel NFS or pNFS is an extension to NFSv4 minor version 1 to support scalable, parallel I/O by providing open protocol support to separate a file’s data from its metadata. The goal of the pNFS implementation in OpenSolaris is to provide scalable performance as well as novel data management features which draw from the numerous benefits of data, metadata separation.
