Hi all,

I'm a freshman to PVFS and I would like to build it on the Amazon EC2
platform. One question bothers me for a while is that, I have to use the
pvfs2-genconfig interactive script to generate configure files for my
virtual machines. I think it would be better if I can modify a configure
template automatically with **sed** or something else, 'cause the IP address
and hostname change every time when I start the instance. I start the
machines and restart them frequently.

Since the pvfs2-fs.conf is a plain txt file, I can understand most of the
lines by guessing. However, I found the MetaHandleRanges has something
wired, as following:
----------------
Range ip-10-17-18-247 3-2305843009213693953
Range ip-10-17-20-3456 2305843009213693954-4611686018427387904
---------------
I don't know how to generate the large numbers behind the hostname in each
line by hand, defining the range of my I/O servers.

Any idea?

Thank you!

p.s. I'm using the PVFS-2.8.2 and the linux kernel version is 2.6.35.11. But
I don't think it matters to this question ;-)
