Authors, While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the following questions, which are also in the XML file.
1) <!--[rfced] Title and Short Title a) May we update the document title for conciseness by removing "of" and rephrasing the text to reflect that the errors are reported "in NFSv4" as shown below? b) May we update the short title that spans the header of the PDF file to more closely match the document title as shown below? c) We note that "LAYOUTRETURN" is mentioned in the title but not in the Abstract or Introduction. Should "LAYOUTRETURN" be included to those sections for consistency with the title? If so, please provide the desired text. Document Title Original: Reporting of Errors via LAYOUTRETURN in NFSv4.2 Perhaps: Reporting Errors in NFSv4.2 via LAYOUTRETURN ... Short Title Original: LAYOUT_RECOVERY Perhaps: Reporting Errors via LAYOUTRETURN --> 2) <!--[rfced] We note that "MDS" and "DS" are expanded as "metadata server" and "data server", respectively, in RFC 8435. May we expand these terms in the Abstract as shown below (option A) to match RFC 8435? After these terms are expanded, would you like to use the abbreviations? There are 37 instances of "metadata server" and 2 instances of "data server". If not, and it is desired to have the term written out, should "MDS" and "DS" simply be removed since they are not used elsewhere in the document (option B)? Please let us know your preference. Original: The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows for a file's metadata (MDS) and data (DS) to be on different servers. When the metadata server is restarted, the client can still modify the data file component. During the recovery phase of startup, the metadata server and the data servers work together to recover state (which files are open, last modification time, size, etc.). Perhaps A: The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows for a file's metadata and data to be on different servers (i.e., the metadata server (MDS) and the data server (DS)). or Perhaps B: The Parallel Network File System (pNFS) allows for a file's metadata and data to be on different servers. --> 3) <!--[rfced] Please clarify "which files are open, last modification time, size, etc.)". Are these files used by the servers during the recovery phase? Original: During the recovery phase of startup, the metadata server and the data servers work together to recover state (which files are open, last modification time, size, etc.). Perhaps: During the recovery phase of startup, the metadata server and the data servers work together to recover state (the files used are "open", "last modification time", "size", etc.). --> 4) <!--[rfced] We are having trouble parsing this sentence. Are words missing after "when a lrf_stateid with the value of the anonymous stateid of all zeros", or should "when a lrf_stateid" perhaps be "with an lrf_stateid"? Please review and let us know how we may clarify. Original: Also, when the metadata server builds the reply to the LAYOUTRETURN when a lrf_stateid with the value of the anonymous stateid of all zeros it MUST NOT bump the seqid of the lorr_stateid. Perhaps: Also, when the metadata server builds the reply to the LAYOUTRETURN with an lrf_stateid with an anonymous stateid value of all zeros, it MUST NOT bump the seqid of the lorr_stateid. --> 5) <!-- [rfced] We note that the following terms appear as lowercase in FCs 8435 and 8881. Should these terms be made lowercase to match se in those RFCs? Flexible File Layout Flexible File Layout Type --> 6) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language> and let us know if any changes are needed. Updates of this nature typically result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers. Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should still be reviewed as a best practice. --> Thank you.

If an author is no longer available, there are several remedies available as listed in the FAQ (https://www.rfc-editor.org/faq/). You and you coauthors are responsible for engaging other parties (e.g., Contributors or Working Group) as necessary before providing your approval. Planning your review --------------------- Please review the following aspects of your document: * RFC Editor questions Please review and resolve any questions raised by the RFC Editor that have been included in the XML file as comments marked as follows: <!-- [rfced] ... --> These questions will also be sent in a subsequent email. * Changes submitted by coauthors Please ensure that you review any changes submitted by your coauthors. We assume that if you do not speak up that you agree to changes submitted by your coauthors. * Content Please review the full content of the document, as this cannot change once the RFC is published. Please pay particular attention to: - IANA considerations updates (if applicable) - contact information - references * Copyright notices and legends Please review the copyright notice and legends as defined in RFC 5378 and the Trust Legal Provisions (TLP – https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info). * Semantic markup Please review the markup in the XML file to ensure that elements of content are correctly tagged. For example, ensure that <sourcecode> and <artwork> are set correctly. See details at <https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary>. * Formatted output Please review the PDF, HTML, and TXT files to ensure that the formatted output, as generated from the markup in the XML file, is reasonable. Please note that the TXT will have formatting limitations compared to the PDF and HTML. Submitting changes ------------------ To submit changes, please reply to this email using ‘REPLY ALL’ as all the parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. The parties include: * your coauthors * rfc-edi...@rfc-editor.org (the RPC team) * other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g., IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the responsible ADs, and the document shepherd). * auth48archive@rfc-editor.org, which is a new archival mailing list to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion list: * More info: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc * The archive itself: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/ * Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter). If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded, auth48archive@rfc-editor.org will be re-added to the CC list and its addition will be noted at the top of the message. You may submit your changes in one of two ways: An update to the provided XML file — OR — An explicit list of changes in this format Section # (or indicate Global) OLD: old text NEW: new text You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit list of changes, as either form is sufficient. We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text, and technical changes. Information about stream managers can be found in the FAQ. Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.
