From 1b22ed456df76b5989a76251ee492e6581a84cc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Callaway Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:55:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add docs on pNFS support in Cinder NFS drivers This change adds the documentation for the changes made in Brick to use NFS v4.1 and parallel NFS (pNFS), that will be used by Cinder when mounting NFS shares using the base NFS driver (or potentially other drivers that are derived from the base driver).
