FYI, some minutes correction with respect to SPEC SFS NFS V4 support
provided by Don included below.  I probably heard it wrong at the
meeting.

I will post corrections ASAP.

Thanks Don!

Mary,

    Hello, I'm interested in the Storage/Networking SIG and would
    like to join in, follow along, and possibly contribute. That's 
    the good news. The bad news is that I can not figure out 
    how to establish this environment using the OSDL web 
    interface.  

    Some background on me...

    1. I'm the author and support staff for Iozone. This is a popular
        filesystem benchmark that is used to measure the performance
        of local and network filesystems.

    2. I'm the chair of the SPEC SFS subcommittee. This is the 
        current industry standard NFS benchmark.

    3. I've read some of the minutes of the Storage SIG and 
        can assure everyone, the assumptions made in those
        minutes, about SPEC's SFS benchmark supporting NFS V4
        in 2005, are, well, hmmmmm.... Not likely, Not on any 
        plan of record, Has NO resources allocated by any member
        company of SPEC, the benchmark would require major
        infrastructure changes, there is NO workload is available for
        a basis, the are NO tools for collecting workload data at
customer
        sites, there are NO customers signed up to collect NFS V4 
        workloads, and very few member companies have asked for NFSV4
        in SFS. (We'll HP has asked, and pushed but with no success as 
        the majority of the SFS member companies are not interested.) 
        Who ever put the "expect SPEC SFS to support NFS V4 in 2005" 
        in the SIG minutes, would better serve the SIG if he/she were to
        contact SPEC before making such statements.

    4. I'm working with Trond Myklebust and Charles Lever, on NFS V4
stuff
        and they recommended that I join your band of merry soles :-)

    Can you help me setup the environment such that I am a member
    of the set of entities involved in the NFS V4, Storage, Networking
    SIG at OSDL ? 

Thank you,
Don Capps
