There is still a minimal set of patches required to support alternate transports in loadable kernel modules which Trond has indicated he will integrate when the RPC/RDMA transport is ready to be integrated. At this time I'm not aware of a plan to integrate server-side support for NFS/RDMA. Perhaps the NetApp RDMA developers could respond. --------------030008010605070805070602 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="chuck.lever.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="chuck.lever.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Chuck Lever n:Lever;Chuck org:Oracle Corporation;Corporate Architecture Linux Projects Group email;internet:chuck dot lever at nospam oracle dot com title:Principle Member of Staff tel;work:+1 248 614 5091 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard --------------030008010605070805070602--
