[Pvfs2-users] installation pvfs2-ping ok, but pvfs2-ls and pvfs2-cp fails

[Sam Lang]

Hi Luiz,

You've still got the other server running with the newer berkeley  
db.  The server starts in the background and reports errors to the  
log, so you won't see if it fails immediately.  pvfs2-ping works  
because you're hitting that first server you started.

Do a 'killall -9 pvfs2-server' and make sure no pvfs2-server  
processes are running, then restart the server again.
