[Pvfs2-users] Installation: pvfs2-cp fails

[Matt]

Hi,

following the Quick Start Guide I am trying to install pvfs2 on a 12+1
cluster.  When testing the installation pvfs2-ping (see below) reports a
correctly configured system. However at the pvfs2-cp step I get:
---------------8<------------
[root at cree pvfs2-1.4.0]# pvfs2-cp  /lib/libc.so.6  /mnt/pvfs2/
[E 16:04:30.142118] create_datafiles_comp_fn: Failed to create data handle 4

------------->8-------------
Note that I can create directories:

root at cree pvfs2-1.4.0]# pvfs2-mkdir /mnt/pvfs2/blabla
[root at cree pvfs2-1.4.0]# pvfs2-ls -l /mnt/pvfs2/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            4096 2006-05-24 14:54 bla
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            4096 2006-05-24 16:19 blabla
drwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4096 2006-05-24 14:34 lost+found
------------>8-----------

I  followed the instruction in of the guide except for configuring with

$ ./configure --with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4
--with-kernel=/usr/src/linux

as this is where db is installed.   (Later on, I needed to set the
library search path: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4) 
Any hints what to do are appreciated.

[root at cree pvfs2-1.4.0]# pvfs2-ping
pvfs2-ping version 1.4.0

Usage  : pvfs2-ping -m file_system_path
Example: pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2
[root at cree pvfs2-1.4.0]# pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2

(1) Parsing tab file...

(2) Initializing system interface...

(3) Initializing each file system found in tab file: /etc/pvfs2tab...

   /mnt/pvfs2: Ok

(4) Searching for /mnt/pvfs2 in pvfstab...

   PVFS2 servers: tcp://cree:3334
   Storage name: pvfs2-fs
   Local mount point: /mnt/pvfs2

   meta servers:
   tcp://cree:3334

   data servers:
   tcp://node10:3334
   tcp://node11:3334
   tcp://node12:3334
   tcp://node1:3334
   tcp://node2:3334
   tcp://node3:3334
   tcp://node4:3334
   tcp://node5:3334
   tcp://node6:3334
   tcp://node7:3334
   tcp://node8:3334
   tcp://node9:3334

(5) Verifying that all servers are responding...

   meta servers:
   tcp://cree:3334 Ok

   data servers:
   tcp://node10:3334 Ok
   tcp://node11:3334 Ok
   tcp://node12:3334 Ok

   tcp://node6:3334 Ok
   tcp://node7:3334 Ok
   tcp://node8:3334 Ok
   tcp://node9:3334 Ok

(6) Verifying that fsid 1559991218 is acceptable to all servers...

   Ok; all servers understand fs_id 1559991218

(7) Verifying that root handle is owned by one server...

   Root handle: 1048576
   Ok; root handle is owned by exactly one server.

=============================================================

The PVFS filesystem at /mnt/pvfs2 appears to be correctly configured.
