[Pvfs2-users] multiple pvfs2-server pids

[Andrea Carotti]

Hi all,
I have a question cause I'm having again problems..but I'm still trying to 
understand if its a NIC hardware problem of one client-node.
If I start the server  on the metadata server (om1) with 
/etc/init.d/pvfs2-server start
and then i do a 'ps -eaf' I find 5 pvfs2-server running. Is it normal?

[root at om1:/home/user1]#ps -eaf | grep pvfs2
