thx
what I am asking is the following:
for pvfs2 server node, can one run application inside the server and
access the data that is on pvfs2 FS?
and how?

Hi Dr tsao
'pvfsd' is a daemon from the older PVFS v1 series. If you had both
some PVFS v1 servers and some PVFS v2 servers, then yes you could
definitely load both the pvfs and pvfs2 kernel modules and run both
pvfs2-client and pvfsd.
We say it is not recomended because very few people actually end up in
this situation.
If all you have are PVFS v2 servers, then do not run pvfsd.
I think what you might be asking is if PVFS servers can also be
clients? That is definitely possible, but you will incur some
overhead. The prefered setup is to have some number of dedicated
PVFS servers.
