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 and document 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
