Hi Liu,

In a previous release we changed the configuration file format.  You  
no longer need a per-server config file (/etc/pvfs2-server.conf),  
instead everything gets stored in the global config file (/etc/pvfs2- 
fs.conf).  So when you're running genconfig, only give the first  
argument:

pvfs2-genconfig /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf

The pvfs2-server binary requires only the pvfs2-fs.conf file as an  
argument now as well.
