[Pvfs2-users] Testing pvfs 2.7.1

[Emmanuel Florac]

First, thanks for all the tremendous work :)

But I'm back with my NFS troubles...

I've set up a quick cluster ( 3 nodes, from which 2 IO servers and 2
clients). Well, the annoying readdir() bug from 2.6.3/2.7.0 is gone,
and it all worked very well. 
However sharing a PVFS volume thru NFS failed badly (though in a
different way than what it used to).
Basically the nfs mount works, listing the root works but send errors,
any any subdir listing, write or read fails :

storiq at 1[storiq]$ sudo mount -t nfs melodica:/mnt/pvfs2/ /mnt/temp

Let's have a look to the pvfs2 client ( nfs server) machine : nothing
in the pvfs2 logs, but in klogd.log :

<4>/usr/src/pvfs-2.7.1/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2-utils.c line 464:

By the way I tried accessing the pvfs2 volume through Samba, FTP, SFTP,
scp and it works just fine. Only NFS looks tricky.

All 3 systems are running vanilla 2.6.22.19 amd64 smp kernels. The
pvfs2 FS resides on an XFS filesystem.
