Hi Phil,
I think it's only pvfs client. I've ran a test on Sam's request (trying to write a 200+MB file from mmcs on an IO node, which reproduced the problem) and placed the logs of the pvfs client and servers at

<http://www.mit.edu/~avp/BD498E4E-34BA-45BD-9EF9-AE302C2D507C/200D35FA-D8DA-4E78-8AA8-C1336B0EF3F1/ >

During the tests, pvfs2-client, pvfs2-client-core and cp all hang, cp did not respond to kill nor kill -9, pvfs2-client could be only killed -9.

Some times a smaller file could be written (or read) without a problem, but if the total amount of I/O is large enough, pvfs still gets stuck.

Hope it helps,

Hi Andrew,

Is it just the PVFS mount point that hangs, or the whole I/O node?

Can you see anything in the kernel messages or in the pvfs2-client log file?
