[PVFS-users] pvfs-kernel release announcement

[Phil Carns]

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that pvfs-kernel 0.8.3 is now available
on the PVFS ftp site.  

(ftp://ftp.parl.clemson.edu/pub/pvfs/pvfs-kernel-0.8.3.tgz)

Fixes/Updates:
----------------
- The maxsz module parameter now works correctly for those of you who wish
to change the default kernel buffer sizes.

- A bug was fixed in the dentry revalidation code.  This problem showed up
on some systems as the pvfs kernel interface reporting "file not found" on
files created with the pvfs library interface.

- The module code now checks your kernel headers at compile time to make
sure the correct SMP and modversions options are defined.


Thanks go out to Brian Haymore, Jose Maria Fernandez Gonzalez, and Dan
Nurmi for helping us track these down!

-Phil
