After running configure you need to continue with the steps given in section 5.2 and following of the quickstart instructions (http://orangefs.org/documentation/releases/current/doc/pvfs2-quickstart/pvf s2-quickstart.php#SECTION00062000000000000000). Running "make kmod" will build the kernel module.

In the quick start guide says: "The module itself is the file pvfs2.ko in subdirectory src/kernel/linux-2.6 in your build tree" In my folder "/usr/pvfs-2.8.1/src/kernel/linux-2.6" there is no file named pvfs2.ko or any file created today. Tha only file that is modified is the "Makefile" in that specific folder. So what about the next step? Cause i can't not "insmod" anything. Thanks, in advance ps.
