[Pvfs2-users] metadata problems with pvfs-2.6.0

Hello,

I am running pvfs-2.6.0 with 8 servers and 10 clients, with Infiniband. 
I have been seeing some random problems with this installation. Sometime 
if I create a file on one client, it is not visible on other client 
using ls and if I try to remove if from this client, instead of saying 
file does not exist, it says that action not allowed or something to 
that effect. From this it looks like there is a mismatch of meta data 
information somewhere.
With MPI applications it fails at certain times in MPI_File_open on some 
nodes, which again looks similar to the above problem.

Can you guys suggest me how to isolate the problem?
Let me know what information you require.

Thanks for any help!
Vikrant
