You should perhaps send these questions to the pvfs2-users list instead of the dev list? Hmm.. It looks like we should be returning ETIMEDOUT instead of a cryptic -1 from that function.. I will fix that error code.. But regardless, the error that you are seeing could happen if there is a lot of I/O activity going on simultaneously (> 5) and one or more of them is not able to get kernel buffers on time to initiate the I/O and hence times out. It could also happen if the I/O activities are stuck somehow waiting to complete and subsequent I/O's start timing out because of unavailable buffers... Could you tell us what workload you were running, your system config, and any user-visible errors? Were the servers ping'able using pvfs2-ping? thanks for the reports!
