[Pvfs2-users] PVFS v2.8.0 compile problems

[Phil Carns]

Hi Tony,

I just wanted to mention that the second compile problem that you 
pointed out is from a code path that gets enabled with the 
--enable-mmap-racache option.  That particular option is experimental 
and (as you have found) not well tested.  I would not advise using it in 
a production setting.
