That 'pvfs2-fs' is a PVFS "file system identifier" field. That field could be anything, but in practice (and for any file system configured with pvfs2-genconfig) that identifier is always 'pvfs2-fs'. The identifier has meaning only to the pvfs2-server process. It could be something else if you wanted a set of PVFS servers to host two namespaces. Most people don't do this, however. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
