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

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!
Murali
