[Pvfs2-developers] pvfs2-cli can't identify protocol

[Kumar, Amit H.]

Hello All,
I am trying to understand the following output from "lsof".
All/most of our compute nodes (pvfs2 clients) have the following output as reported by "lsof"
Few of the pvfs2-client nodes have greater than 1024 open sockets for just the pvfs2-client process. Current ulimit for maximum number of open files per process is set to 1024 on all of our computer nodes. I see this as a potential performance problem. I was wondering if any of you can help me interpret the output and fix any issues that this could be causing.
