Hey all, David and I were using pvfs2-cp and couldn't get it to work. We keep getting errors of the form "Target file XXX already exists." We tried switching to HEAD and recreating the storage space but the error is always the same. For example, the command "pvfs2-cp /usr/lib/libc.a /pvfs2" gives the error "Target file libc.a already exists."
After stepping through the code with the debugger I've narrowed the problem down to pvfs2-cp.c:554. On this line the code calls PVFS_sys_ref_lookup on the destination path. If the lookup succeeds (returns 0) then it assumes the file already exists and refuses to copy over it. Is this the correct behavior? In the example command above the lookup succeeds but the lookup response contains the null handle. Not sure what happened here but somewhere along the line the semantics of PVFS_sys_ref_lookup must have changed. I had pvfs2-cp working just fine about a month ago. --Nick _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list Pvfs2-developers@beowulf-underground.org http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
