[Pvfs2-users] corrupted output

[Chris Poultney]

Should have mentioned:

pvfs 2.8.2
Ubuntu 10.04, kernel 2.6.32-25-server, using kernel module

Using two patches from Kevin Harms regarding Berkeley DB and multiple 
filesystem entries in /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf (I believe these have since 
been committed to HEAD).
