[PVFS-users] Query

Hi Mahesh,

The "mounting" concept in the mgr is left over from a *long* time ago when 
the mgr actually started all iods on first file system reference.  It's 
now just a convenient way to get file system data loaded on an on-demand 
basis.

Creating file systems is done outside the scope of the mgr using scripts.  
The Quick Start guide describes the process.

Regards,

Rob
