We should consider adding a configure-time test if this is something we think we need to look out for, so we can at least blow up at configure time with a meaningful error.

Hi Greg,

The path of least resistance for you is to probably build your own db4 and point pvfs2 at that with the --with-db to configure. The db you have installed seems to have been configured with some options that disable using shared memory for the cache.

In the long term we should probably look at handling the case where the db isn't configured to work with shared memory.

Can you tell us what kernel you are running?  It sounds like you might
be running a stock kernel.org kernel?

the node has pre-compiled kernel downloaded from a centos mirror:
