Pete, Following patch adds the sysfs magic. Can you test the following patch and see if it helps? It should do the trick although I havent been able to test, which actually brings me to the next question. Is HEAD broken from a build perspective? I can't get it to build at all. I havent spent too much time trying to fix it though :( It seems to be related to the recent merge of walt3 to head. thanks, Murali

We probably should do the sysfs magic in the kernel module. If udev happens to be running, this can auto-create the /dev entry, with whatever perms the udev config files choose. If someone were eager to figure this out, I think we could test it and get it to work on all kernels pretty easily. -- Pete _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list Pvfs2-developers@beowulf-underground.org http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
