Hi Luiz,

We've seen this with the newest version of Berkeley DB. See Murali's comments from a previous thread:

http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-users/2006- December/001673.html

You should be able to use berkeley db 4.3 just fine, so if you have an older version installed (or can download and install it), you can use the --with-db option to configure while building pvfs to point it at the older version.

Hi Murali,

Firstly i would like to thank for your kindness and atention.

I execute this code line and after i startes pvfs2-server command
% pvfs2-server /etc/pvfs/fs.conf /etc/pvfs/server.conf-luizmendes

and log file /tmp/pvfs2-server.log registered this following line
 [D 01/12 18:21] PVFS2 Server version 2.6.1 starting.

After this i executed
% pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2

And this command didnt record nothing in log file. And this command returned: The PVFS2 filesystem at /mnt/pvfs2 appears to be correctly configured.

Now command, % pvfs2-ls /mnt/pvfs2 -V
and it entered in loop and recorded this following message several times in log

[E 01/12 18:28] TROVE:DBPF:Berkeley DB: keyval_db->get (handle info): DB_BUFFER_SMALL: User memory too small for return value


Thanks.

Luiz Mendes


2007/1/12, Murali Vilayannur < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Hi Luiz,
Are you using it over TCP or any of the other supported BMI networks?
Something is definitely wrong with some of the most recent releases
(or even HEAD)
since this is the 2nd (or 3rd?) report of infinite looping on the client-side..
Can you turn on verbose event logging on the servers...you can do this
by running..
% pvfs2-setdebugmask -m "pvfs mount point from pvfs2tab file" verbose

I haven't had the chance to reproduce this yet..
If noone else beats me to it, I guess I can take a stab at this tonight.
Sam, Pete, RobL, RobR: any clues on what is happening?
thanks,
Murali
