Hi Murali,

I don't that the pvfs2-cp error (File exists) is a bug.  pvfs2-cp  
just doesn't let you overwrite a file that already exists.  That  
leaves Luiz problems to pvfs2-ls hanging and the VFS.  Luiz could you  
give us more information about the problems you're having?  What  
commands are failing when you use the VFS (i.e. /mnt/pvfs2)?  What  
happens when you run those commands in strace?  Can you run pvfs2-ls  
in strace and send the output?
