Hello all,
I forgot to mention an important feature in this release: the PVFS
server now only takes a single config file, no more per-server config
files to distribute. The pvfs2-genconfig script now only generates a
single config file, which can be given as an argument when starting
the server.
For those of you with a bunch of per-server config files, a script is
included in this release that converts all the old config files into
a single new one. As an example:
pvfs2-config-convert --servers "myhost{1-10}" old-fs.conf old-
server.conf new-fs.conf
See the --help for further info.
Also, on startup, the server now uses the hostname to determine which
endpoint in the config file it should listen on. If the hostname
doesn't match to any of the endpoints specified in the config file,
the -a option can be used to point the server to the right endpoint.
The -help for the pvfs2-server process provides more detailed
information.
Thanks,
-sam
