[CVS commit program]

Update of /projects/cvsroot/pvfs2-1/doc
In directory parlweb:/tmp/cvs-serv23891/doc

Modified Files:
	pvfs2-quickstart.tex 
Log Message:
[pcarns]:
	- You can now mount a pvfs2 voume by hand and the pvfs2 utilities will
	  find it (i.e. pvfs2 looks in /etc/fstab, /etc/pvfs2tab,
	  $PVFS2TAB_FILE, and /etc/mtab). 
	- Introduce PINT_util_resolve_absolute, a routine which, in conjunction
	  with the earlier added PINT_realpath, lets pvfs2 utilities better
	  deal with relative paths
	- clean up pvfs2-rm error handling

-Alternatively one could put this entry in \texttt{/etc/fstab} instead.
+There are a few alternatives to using an /etc/pvfs2tab which may be useful
+in production environments:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item One could put this entry in \texttt{/etc/fstab} file instead of
+\texttt{/etc/pvfs2tab}. 
+\item One could avoid static tab file entries entirely and let the pvfs2 tools
+detect file systems that have been mounted using the Linux kernel
+driver.  This approach only works if you use the 2.6 Linux kernel or
+install the mount.pvfs2 utility on 2.4 Linux kernel systems.
+\end{itemize}
