[Pvfs2-developers] Attempting to mount pvfs using the client kernel module

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Scott,
Are you running the client-core daemon which services the kmod
requests in user space?..
if not you  can run it like so
pvfs2-client -p <path to pvfs2-client-core>
All your fprints etc will be logged in /tmp/pvfs2-client.log if you
enable the gossip mx debug mask when starting up client-core..
hope this helps,
Murali
