[Pvfs2-users] latest CVS and linux kernel 2.6.26

[Sumit Narayan]

Hi Ryuta,

Sorry about this, but could you also check if pvfs2-ping gives any  
error. I just pulled pvfs2 from CVS and it worked fine with kernel  
2.6.26 (both compile and mount). This might help us narrow down the  
problem.

Thanks,
Sumit
