Hi Rob, pvfs2-ping works fine on server1 itself, but failed on both client1 and client2.Even using IP address in the /etc/pvfs2tab file does not help.The pvfs2 version is 1.3.2, the latest release, fromftp://ftp.parl.clemson.edu/pub/pvfs2/pvfs2-1.3.2.tar.gz.The detailed information is shown as below. Peng >From server1, on which PVFS2 works, the results is:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# >pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2 (1) Parsing tab file... (2) Initializing system interface...

Ok; all servers understand fs_id 526730110 (7) Verifying that root handle is owned by one server... Root handle: 1048576 Ok; root handle is owned by exactly one server. ============================================================ The PVFS filesystem at /mnt/pvfs2 appears to be correctly configured.

I tried both hostname and IP address, the pvfs2-ping gives the same results.For hostname, the content of the /etc/pvfs2tab file (the same on allthe three machines) is :tcp://server1:3334/pvfs2-fs /mnt/pvfs2 default,noauto 0 0 For IP addresses, the content is:tcp://129.93.164.223:3334/pvfs2-fs /mnt/pvfs2 default,noauto 0 0 On 12/17/05, Rob Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> Hi,>> Can you "ping" between the various machines using those same names?> Does pvfs2-ping work with those hostnames?
