So we upgraded some of our servers to RHEL 6.5 and I came across pNFS while reading through the release docs. According to various docs available online, the performance improvement is huge over traditional NFS. Sadly, the docs available online about configuring pNFS are not very helpful. I have just this one question:Do we need a separate Metadata server to use pNFS? Example: If I have one NFS server and 10 clients in traditional NFS setup, do I need to have one NFS server, one Metadata server and those 10 clients if I am to implement pNFS there?
Do we need a separate Metadata server to use pNFS?
