[pnfs] pNFS testing at connectathon

[Iyer, Rahul]

Hi Lisa,
I was working of the minorversion1-07 dot-x file. Will it be too much of
a problem for us to stick to this one? I haven't read the -08 dot-x file
yet. I'm yet to integrate the sessions code with pNFS and I'd appreciate
if I didn't need to go implement new ops, not to mention any XDR
changes, given the remaining time. So, unless it will be a lot of
trouble, I'd like to stick with the -07 dot-x.
Regards
Rahul
