[Pvfs2-users] help with pvfs2 and formatdb (used with BLAST)

[Becky Ligon]

PVFS-USERS:

When I use formatdb to create a BLAST-usable database, I get the error:

[formatdb] ERROR:  Failed to create index:  ISAMErrorCode -5.

The PVFS kernel log shows the following error:

pvfs2_file_write: error in vectored write to handle xxxx, FILE: xxxx.

(the x's have values but are just specific to my database).

I saw a thread in the pvfs2-users archive where someone else has this same
problem, but there were no responses to it.  Am I just having a setup
issue with PVFS?

We are running PVFS 2.8.

Any help would be apprecited.

Thanks,

Becky Ligon
