[Pvfs2-users] goofy permission denied error

Hi Bob,

Is this from a new storage space, or had things been working and then  
you started getting the permission denied errors?  If its a storage  
space that's been around for a while, did you migrate from 1.3.x or  
1.4.0?

Based on the logfiles you sent, it doesn't look like a kernel module  
problem.  We haven't seen those specific problems with 1.5.1, but we  
didn't do much testing of the 1.5.1 release on 64 bit platforms (esp.  
ppc).  Would it be possible to get access to that system so that I  
can do some debugging?

Thanks,

-sam
