Haven't seen the client-core consuming 100% cpu yet. I'm running
your setup here and it's idle except during transfers. Can you
verify that the client-core chews a full CPU as soon as it is
started up? Or if you have to do use the file system for a while
before it goes into this mode? I'm trying to understand what could
be causing it.
Actually I'm just finding a bug in the pvfs2-IB polling method now
that may add _server_ load, not sure about client; I'll let you know
when I've got it figured out. Please tell me again which version of
PVFS2 you're running? CVS Head or one of the releases?
