FYI, you can find a kDAPL implementation for OpenIB at svn/gen2/users/jlentini/linux-kernel and a uDAPL implementation for OpenIB at svn/gen2/users/jlentini/userspace I can answer any questions you might have about these ULPs. I'm not familiar with NAL, so I can't comment on which ULP is rig

I would also recommend studying DAFS, and in particular the differences between DAFS and NFS over RDMA. NFS over RDMA leaves most of the existing file system logic intact and basically optimizes the exchange of individual messages over RDMA. Using SDP would be a somewhat similar strategy, with sl

Thank you very much! I'll read the materials that you supply. I have not described my plan clearly. I don't konw how to run lustre on IB. Neither do I konw the lustre running in kernel space or user space. Now the lustre NAL does not supports IB vapi. If I use IPoIB, it works. But it doen not

The quick answer here is none of SDP, iSER/SRP or uDAPL for different reasons on each case kDAPL is the kernel API that is designed to handle a kernel application such as NFS, Lustre or the like. See: http://www.datcollaborative.org/kdapl.html There is are already implementations of NFS/
