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

Ah, Ok.  I didn't realize that you were using infiniband.  Can any IB 
gurus on the list confirm if it is responsible for the extra "sock" 
entries lsof?

You can always increase the number of available file descriptors in your 
init script before starting pvfs2-client if you need to ("ulimit -n 
100000", for example).  That might be all you need to do as long as the 
number of file descriptors isn't growing without bound.
