Hello, I tried to install pvfs2, version 1.5.1 on a diskless cluster. The head node is to be both the metadata server as well as the io server. The clients are nfs mounted to the head node. The underlying database is the Berkeley 4.5.20. The check of "pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2/" is allright. However, when I tried to do "pvfs2-cp" or "pvfs2-ls", the commands hang. The /tmp/pvfs2-server.log shows following, only 2 lines cut out of many:

[E 10/11 14:45] TROVE:DBPF:Berkeley DB: keyval_db->get: DB_BUFFER_SMALL: User memory too small for return value [E 10/11 14:45] TROVE:DBPF:Berkeley DB: keyval_db->get: DB_BUFFER_SMALL: User memory too small for return value
....

The database is configured with:
../dist/configure --enable-pthread_api --disable-libtool-lock --enable-debug

the pvfs2-1.5.1 is configured with:
./configure -with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5 -with-kernel=/usr/src/kernel-2.6/linux-2.6.17.x86_64

The head node is configured following the instructions in quick-start.pdf.

The cluster is running Fedora 4.

/sbin/lsmod does not show any pvfs2 module.

Thanks in advance for any help,

wenbin.
