This page is intended to serve as a "to-do" list for the Linux pNFS Block Layout client.

pNFS Block Layout Userspace Daemon

  • Give it consistent naming (process name, executable name, pidfile name, etc)
  • Fully understand what it does and why it needs to do it
  • Use existing methods to scan disks, create disks, and send upcalls to userspace instead of inventing new methods (udev, libdevmapper, etc)
  • Use udev notifications to trigger device rescan, instead of rescanning once a minute
  • Use a pre-existing upcall mechanism instead of inventing our own
  • Give it meaningful debug messages
  • General code cleanup
  • man page and any other needed documentation
