[Pvfs2-developers] Status of the head

   The last integration bug I found could be replicated simply by using 
pvfs-cp to copy files into an empty pvfs2 filesystem as I recall.

   Whenever I get everything working, you are welcome to use my datatype 
testing program, except that it requires my patches to mpich2 to run 
correctly (which I just mailed to, but I'm not sure are appropriate for 
the main romio tree).

   Thanks for the note, I will begin reintegrating with the head now.

Cheers,
Brad
