[Pvfs2-users] corrupt gzipped files

[Chris Poultney]

All-

I'm running some third-party software that has an option to write output 
files as plain text or as gzipped text files using zlib. Gzipped files 
written to an ext4 partition are fine, but those written to the PVFS 
volume are corrupt and unreadable by any of the gzip tools (the error 
message is "not in gzip format"). Plain text output files are fine in 
all cases.

Before I spent a lot of time digging through the third-party software 
source and making some simple test code, has anyone else run into a 
similar issue? I didn't find anything in the PVFS2 docs that seemed 
relevant to this particular issue.

Thanks,
