I'm not familar with Rocks.  Check your documentation to see if that
"HPC roll 3.2.0" contains PVFS.  It's pretty easy to build from source
if Rocks doesn't provide a package already.

yes. Please read http://www.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs/quick.html for all
the details.

We just release 1.6.3 last week.   

Have fun
