HI

I identified it just before but i was not aware how to initialize it , can you 
please guide me  in this by giving a command or pointing me to some source 
where it is mentioned how to complete the installation properly.
doc/pvfs2-quickstart.tex contains

Before you run pvfs2-server for the first time, you must run it with a special
argument that tells it to create a new storage space if it does not already
exist.  In this example, we must run the server as root in order to create
a storage space in /pvfs2-storage-space as specified in the configuration
files.

\begin{verbatim}
bash-2.05b# /usr/sbin/pvfs2-server /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf -f
\end{verbatim}

Once the above step is done, you can start the server in normal mode
as follows:

\begin{verbatim}
bash-2.05b# /usr/sbin/pvfs2-server /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf
\end{verbatim}
