Hi Phil & others: the pvfs2 module was loaded and dmesg |grep pvfs reported the module version as the same as the other code. There were some other messages in the log; unfortunately, they were lost when I had to back all my chnages out last night to restore the cluster to operation (which included rebuilding my experimental node).
I looked at them, and they seemed inconsequential (very similar to the log). They were posted to #pvfs2 IRC channel yesterday, between 11am and 12:30pm PDT (UTC-7). I don't seem to have a log, though. I'll see if I can perform some tests today, but as I need to down pvfs for the entire cluster so I can upgrade the server, then the client to test, its kind of a big deal and needs to be scheduled. I don't have a similar dev environment. Would there be some time we could meet on IRC and do some real-time debugging so as to minimize the times I need to take down the cluster? --Jim On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 7:16 AM, Phil Carns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jim, > > Are you certain that the pvfs2 kernel module is loaded and that it is the > same version as your pvfs2-client daemon? > > Are there any errors in dmesg?
