[Pvfs2-users] latest CVS and linux kernel 2.6.26

[Ryuta Suzuki]

Hi Phil, Sumit,

I've just check out from CVS trunk to rebuild pvfs2 including kernel module.
Build succeeds without any problem, however, during pvfs2-client 
start-up I got the following error:

mount: tcp://oroppas:3334/pvfs2-fs: can't read superblock

Well, things are constantly changing in CVS trunk, I would imagine that 
we find another bug again...
