Hi Murali, Thank you for responding. Please bear with me for a moment - I'm very green when it comes to linux, let alone pvfs2... having left the win xp world 3 months ago :)
I used a Rocks Roll to setup PVFS2, so much of the configuration was done behind the scenes. Is this option to be set in a config file? I searched http://www.pvfs.org/pvfs2-options.html but found no mention. Thanks in advance Regards Mark On 2/20/07, Murali Vilayannur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Mark, Can you configure pvfs2 with an extra option --enable-kernel-sendfile in addition to your usual options? That should fix this issue. Loopback requires the underlying FS to support sendfile.. By default, configure disables this option since noone seems to want this feature (The only other use-case was with Apache which can be configured to not use sendfile). thanks!
