[PVFS-users] Re: FileZilla with pvfs

[Rob Ross]

It would be interesting to get an strace of the sftp server so that we can 
see what is going wrong.  Clearly there is something a little off, either 
an assumption that the sftp server is making about directory read 
semantics, or something that we haven't gotten quite right.
