[Pvfs2-users] Binary files copied to pvfs2 fail diff

[Mark Van De Vyver]

Hi,
I've tried copying the contents of several DVD's to PVFS2 (1.5.1).
The copy completes without any errors reported, and the
/tmp/pvfs2-client.log files are empty.
The Linux ssytem used is CentOS 4.4, x86_64.
I haven't applied any updates.

To check wether there are errors I run
diff -urN /pvfs2/dir /media/cdrom

I notice that the differences in the binary files are indicated.  Some
text files that are also on the DVD seem to be copied correctly.
I've tested this with about 6 DVD and on three machines and see the
same behavior.

When copying to a PVFS2 area is diff the appropriate way to inspect if
a copy is consistent with the original?
Is there some setting I may have incorrect in the PVFS2 setup?
I have a std/default Rocks Cluster (4.2.1) PVFS2 roll setup with one
meta data server, and two other compute-I/O nodes.

Appreciate any suggestions.
Regards
Mark
