hi,
I am interested in adding 2 features in gnbd:
1. finiband support for communication between a gnbd client and a gnbd server.
2. multi-device to one device mapping: multiples servers export their devices and one client import from those servers. The client sees one device, who is a wrapper device for all devices in servers. Writing/reading to the device will be distributed to different servers according to different writing/reading position, size, etc ....
I did not find any design document for gnbd so far. I will certainly be grateful if someone can point me to any URL for that.
comments and suggestions are welcome.
thanks
