Currently we are using the standard code available at 
www.connectathon.org.  We know we need something more specific to pNFS 
testing, and have battered around some ideas, but nothing has happen on 
that front as of yet.  Any help/ideas in this area would be much 
appreciated.

As for help testing, some people are testing with the python 
client/server available from citi.  This enables quick and easy ways to 
inject errors, etc.
