[Pvfs2-users] Upgrading PVFS v1.5.1 to PVFS v2.6.2 on Rocks Cluster 4.2.1

[Kyle Schochenmaier]

Did you do `make kmod_install` to install the kernel 2.6.2 module?
If you did that in the past, and not again when you built 2.6.2, you'll 
still have a 1.5.1 kernel module.  However, I believe the client process 
itself is in charge of reporting a version to the output file.  Am I wrong?
