PNFS Block Layout TODO

Revision as of 18:59, 13 September 2010 by Rees (Talk | contribs)

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
