Hi Wei-keng, I couldn't reproduce this on any of my setups. Could you upgrade pvfs2 to the cvs version and see if the problem persists? The viewdist program prints out "Not a meta file" if the getattr call indicates that the given path name is not a file. Alternatively, could you try mounting the PVFS2 file system and then run the same viewdist program and see if you get similar errors? Thanks, Murali
