Hi,<br><br>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).<br><br>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.<br><br>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" :<br>
<br><pre># ./pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2<br></pre>.......<br>.......<br>(3) Initializing each file system found in tab file: /etc/pvfs2tab ... <br><br>PVFS2 Servers: tcp://clone2.3334<br>Storage name: pvfs2-fs<br>Local mount point: /mnt/pvfs2<br>
