[PVFS-users] unable to mount client

[Rob Ross]

Hi,

There are a lot of possible problems here.

First, I find it odd that there is no port number on the "iod 1" line, 
because the code clearly would print one:

  printf("iod %d (%s:%d) is responding.\n", i, iod_host, iod_port);

So that doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Also, that "10.255.255.254" address seems funny.  If you do a "ping 
10.255.255.254" from the head or the compute node, can it ping it?

What's the netmask on the interfaces on the frontend and compute node?
