[PVFS-users] PVFS + Rockscluster + dd = Cannot allocate memory

[jerome.borowiak at c-s.fr]

Found !

Here there is an answer found by a colleague...

Modify the /etc/modules.conf as :

options pvfs buffer=dynamic
(default options is : options pvfs buffer=mapped)

And now the related question is : 

Does exist any consequence ???
