[PVFS-users] pvfs and glibc 2.1.3

[Rob Ross]

Christophe,

I'm checking with another user who was working on this exact problem; I
don't recall if he had a solution or not.

In general every time we switch to a new glibc, something breaks.  This is
an unfortunate side effect of some design decisions on the part of the
glibc developers (IMHO).  Their goal is tight, highly optimized code,
and they sacrifice a clean interface between the glibc code and the system
calls themselves in order to attain this goal.  This results in a less
than ideal environment in which to implement our wrappers :).

Depending on your situation, you might not need to compile with the
wrappers.  For instance, if you are using ROMIO for parallel I/O, or if
you are using our kernel module, you would not need the wrappers at all.

I will report back on the glibc2.1.3 issue when I know more.

Thanks!

Rob
