Sure. I'm actually have a single client just doing a small contiguous write of 50 bytes. But I think it occurs for pretty much any small I/O operation I do. It seems to happen with any amount of PVFS2 servers. Both the memory request and file request structures are contig I think. The total_completed isn't filled in during the write. I think it happens also during the read (althought I'm not quite sure on that). I'm using the HEAD CVS version, (just did an update this morning).
