[Pvfs2-users] Problem running the PVFS2 Installation Test

[FileSystem Novice]

Hi,

I am new to PVFS [and linux/networking :-) ] ... I could compile the code
for PVFS2 and set it up as per the first few steps in the document (A Quick
Start Guide to PVFS2).

As an FYI, I set up the PVFS2 server on a hostname called ''clone1" (which
is a Ubuntu VM running on my local box) using instructions mentioned in
Chapter 3.1 and 3.2 and started it.

However once I do the Client Configuration on a different hostname called
"clone2" (which is also a different Ubuntu VM running on my local box) as
per Chapter 3.3 and try to Test the Installation as per Chapter 3.4, I get
the following error while running the following command on "clone2" :

# ./pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2

.......
.......
(3) Initializing each file system found in tab file: /etc/pvfs2tab ...

PVFS2 Servers: tcp://clone2.3334
Storage name: pvfs2-fs
Local mount point: /mnt/pvfs2

   /mnt/pvfs2: FAILURE!

Failure: could not initialize at least one of the target file systems.

(4) Searching for /mnt/pvfs2 in pvfstab ...
[E 16:33:41:294024] Error: /mnt/pvfs2/ resides on a PVFS2 file system that
has not yet been initialized.
Failure: could not find filesystem for /mnt/pvfs2 in pvfs2tab /etc/pvfs2tab
Entry 0: /mnt/pvfs2


Is there something trivial that I am doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help!
