For those running RHEL (or clones), pNFS was in technical preview in 6.2 I believe, and became fully supported in 6.4.

Adding support the cloudstack way would be trivial if it was just verified the client supported it on the hypervisor, and even then the deployments I’ve seen would still allow failover to NFS v3 For the most part, people seem to be waiting for CephFS to become primetime, but if you’re using the big NFS hardware solutions, I think most support pNFS now. I’ve personally used pNFS with https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/ <https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/> as the NFS server and Ceph as the backend, but that felt kind of dirty and will be less useful for most when CephFS goes primetime. > On Jan 14, 2015, at 9:38 PM, John Kinsella <j...@stratosec.co> wrote: > > Somebody in the silicon valley meetup just asked about pNFS [1] - I’d never > heard of it, but sounds interesting and in theory would negate a lot of the > ugliness of NFS. > > Curious if anybody else is familiar with it, or if there’s a general interest > in having support in ACS? > > John > 1: http://www.pnfs.com/
