Hi All,
I am trying to install pvfs2 2.6.0 over infiniband.I am using pathscales infinipath adapter. make and make install works fine and also the storage space gets created.I have configured it to use ib(infiniband.) But when I try to run the servers normally they exit abnormally.The log says that ib is unsupported protocol. Is pathscale's infinipath support not enabled in pvfs2, or should I go with TCP and use layered ethernet driver for inifinipath.
   Below is my log:

If you're using OpenIB API I believe Infinipath is supported through user verbs, though I have yet to test this out. I've also seen this message when not all of the kernel modules are loaded. Make sure you have ib_uverbs.ko installed. Hopefully this will clear it up. If not, it looks like a config problem.
