[Pvfs2-users] Problem mounting iso files saved on PVFS2

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Mark,
Can you configure pvfs2 with an extra option
--enable-kernel-sendfile
in addition to your usual options? That should fix this issue.
Loopback requires the underlying FS to support sendfile..
By default, configure disables this option since noone seems to want
this feature (The only other use-case was with Apache which can be
configured to not use sendfile).
thanks!
