Hi all:

It turns out that one of our users has identified the application that
has been wrecking havoc on our pvfs installs (even still.....)

emacs

That's right, using emacs on a file / in a directory on the pvfs mount
point cases no end of trauma.  The latest reproducable problem is that
after "a while" the shell becomes croupted in some manor that indirect
paths (open file rather than open /mnt/pvfs2/file) fail to work.  If
the user presses onward, eventually somethinng in the pvfs2 client on
that box will crash; the last one required  a reboot to repair, with
the syslog logging a bunch of stuff about missing cycles in the pvfs2
kernel module).

So...Something emacs is doing does not get along with pvfs2....
