Hi Benny, I installed Steve's fedora 13 pnfs kernel and your pnfs utils from the git tree on my 3 node testbed, a client, a MDS and a DS. I have successfully configured and mounted pNFS from the client, but can only create empty files in the directory. All attempts to write resulted in remote I/O errors. I discovered later that spnfsd is not running on the MDS. It dies silently every time I tried to start it. Running spnfsd with gdb indicated that it is reading /etc/spnfsd.conf correctly but crashed while writing to /proc/fs/spnfs/config. Your help will be appreciated?
