Rob, here is the config file of the server (pvfs2-fs.conf) :
<Defaults>
UnexpectedRequests 50
EventLogging none
LogStamp datetime
BMIModules bmi_tcp
FlowModules flowproto_multiqueue
PerfUpdateInterval 1000
ServerJobBMITimeoutSecs 30
ServerJobFlowTimeoutSecs 30
ClientJobBMITimeoutSecs 300
ClientJobFlowTimeoutSecs 300
ClientRetryLimit 5
ClientRetryDelayMilliSecs 2000
StorageSpace /pvfs2-storage-space
LogFile /tmp/pvfs2-server.log
</Defaults>
<Aliases>
Alias clone1 tcp://clone1:3334
</Aliases>
<Filesystem>
Name pvfs2-fs
ID 1774738514
RootHandle 1048576
<MetaHandleRanges>

And on the client, the pvf2stab file has the following :
tcp://clone1:3334/pvfs2-fs /mnt/pvfs2 pvfs2 defaults,noauto 0 0
Thanks!
