[Pvfs2-developers] some testing questions

[Murali Vilayannur]

Pete,
Following patch adds the sysfs magic.
Can you test the following patch and see if it helps? It should do the
trick although I havent been able to test, which actually brings me to
the next question.
Is HEAD broken from a build perspective? I can't get it to build at
all. I havent spent too much time trying to fix it though :(
It seems to be related to the recent merge of walt3 to head.
thanks,
Murali
