[Pvfs2-users] latest CVS and linux kernel 2.6.27

[Phil Carns]

Hi Ryuta,

What version of PVFS are you using?  Sumit Narayan and I have updated 
the CVS version of PVFS to build correctly against 2.6.27, but I'm not 
sure if the patch will apply to the official releases.  The patch is 
attached to this email if you want to give it a try.

thanks,
-Phil
