[Pvfs2-users] Re: Storage create failed error

Mon Feb 1 11:20:03 EST 2010

It appears that the config file for cn77 is missing five bytes.  Delete
the config file that cn77 is started with and re-copy a fresh version from
cn76 or cn75.  The config files must be EXACTLY alike.  There could be
invisible characters hiding in the files on cn76 & cn75 but not on cn77. 
So, pick one that is correct and re-distribute it to the other config file
locations....just to be sure.  Let's ignore the messages from cn76 log
file for now.
