Hi, I checked out the flags "--with-file-system=ufs+testfs+pvfs2" and "--with-pvfs2" and I am finally able to write a file to the pvfs filesystem (using pvfs2.8.0 and mpich2-1.0.8). I guess they must have made some changes to the latest mpich code. Unless you explicitly enable support for the pvfs file system, it doesn't compile the code which is why everytime the program ended up in the code between the flags ... #ifndef ROMIO_PVFS2 ... #endif (src/mpi/romio/adio/common/ad_fstype.c) and exited with an error.
Thanks for your help, Regards, Christina.
