Hi Uday,
Could you shed some light on what sort of workload(s) you were running
over the 4-5 day period after which this situation was encountered?
Also if you could do an lsof -p `pidof pvfs2-server` that might tell us
where/how all the fd's of the server are being used for..
Thanks for the report!
