Hi Emmanuel,
Thank you for your email.
I have tried the  2.8.1 version. I still get the same problem.
My setups are as the followings:
1) PVFS setup:
    1 meta server and 1 io server
    both have pvfs2 installed and started without error
    pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2 shows no error.
    on meta server:
    run the following:
      a)  /sbin/insmod /usr/local/bin/pvfs2/pvfs2.ko
      b)  /usr/local/bin/pvfs2/sbin/pvfs2-client -p
/usr/local/bin/pvfs2/sbin/pvfs2-client-core
      c)  mount -t pvfs2 tcp://meta_server:3334/pvfs2-fs /mnt/pvfs2
 2) NFS setup on meta_server:
      a)  Created /etc/exports file:
               /mnt/pvfs2 *(sw,sync,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check)
      b)   run:
               exportfs -rav
               rpc.mountd
               rpc.nfsd 8
      c) On a NFS client machine:
             run:
                showmount -e meta-server
             it display /mnt/pvfs2 exported to everyone

             mkdir /testmnt
             mount meta_server:/mnt/pvfs2 /testmnt

             mount was successful without error
             df -h sees NFS mounted directory /testmnt on meta_server
             cd /testmnt successful without error
             mkdir test successful without error
             cd test shows the error:

           meta_server1 kernel:

/usr/opt/64bit_pvfs2_pkgs/pvfs-2.8.1/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2-utils.c line
          464: Critical error: Invalid handle despite using iget4/iget5

    3) Samething happened for PVFS2-2.8.2

Could you please tell me what's wrong about my procedure? Any advice do you
have? Could you let me know your setting steps and let me try them?
Thank you,

Bob

I've just tested with pvfs 2.8.1, 64 bits server and 32 bits NFS
client, it worked perfectly fine, and I even successfully ran bonnie++
on the NFS shared PVFS filesystem.
Setup :
PVFS node / NFS server  2.6.27.39 x86_64 (debian)
client  2.6.29.6 i386 (slackware)
What about giving 2.8.1 a try?
