In the case of Panasas, I believe that they only provide a "client driver"
for Linux to talk to their object storage appliance.
There is an NFSv4.1 pNFS object layout that they have developed, but it
requires an ODS2 (I think I got that right?) stack and it's unlikely that
the client I am working on will be able to do this any time soon.
