The small problem is that these depend on other Kernel support being present, while files only depends on NFS itself. This patch removes from the user choice the presence of objects and blocks layout. But makes sure these are selected only if the depended subsystems are present in the Kernel. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh [off-list ref] Acked-by: Jim Rees <redacted> I think this is what we want. There is no point allowing the user to pick and choose various layout drivers. If they have selected nfs4.1 they should get all the layout drivers their kernel will support, based on the dependencies.
I agree automatically selecting is more reasonable.
