Hello. I am trying to adapt a previously parallelized program to use
pvfs2 (orange 2.8.7). I never used the pvfs2 filesystem before.
When I install Berkeley DB then orange, I receive no noticeable error.
I can use genconfig and then start the server with -f to create storage.
No errors either. However, when launching pvfs2-server, it does not
output anything but one line ('...pvfs2 server on node .... starting'),
but does not start.
This is the /tmp/pvfs2-server.log file (logging was set to 'trove', to
increase info):
[D 08/21/2013 19:03:18] PVFS2 Server version 2.8.7-orangefs starting.

[E 08/21/2013 19:03:18] dbpf_finalize attr sync: Invalid argument
Since the server does not start, I cannot use any of the utilities.
Only pvfs2-showcoll gives a hint:
Error from trove_initialize is -1073742082
pvfs2-showcoll: error: trove initialize failed; aborting!
I am using a virtual machine (VM oracle VirtualBox) running on windows
8. I tried installing several distros (ubuntu 10.04 server and 10.10,
fedora 11), either updated and without updates. Berkeley db was 4.8.30,
then tried 5.3.21.
The odd thing is, about a month or so ago I instaled everything with
the same sources and it worked like a charm (after several errors and
retrials, ehem). I used the ping utility and tested files with pvfs2-ls
and pvfs2-cp with no problems. Then I went on working on something else,
but when I tried to use pvfs2 again recently, it failed as you can see.
Unfortunately, the VM in which I installed the first time got corrupted
(can't even mount partition, hangs the VM) so I can't compare to see if
i did something diferent then. I think I simply followed the guide, and
always used the default configurations like I am doing now.
Any thoughts on what is the problem? Without the use of pvfs2, the
project has no meaning, so I'm in a quandary. Any help would be greatly
apreciated. If you need me to give more data, please tell me what you
want to know and if posible how to obtain it.
Thanks in advance for your attention. (Sidenote: my home language is
not english, so I'm sorry for any weird spelling I may have used)
