The new docs specify the default filesystem name as orangefs. The old quickstart guide is considered legacy documentation.
When I ran pvfs2-ping using an invalid filesystem name, here is what I got: [root@master ligon]# /opt/orangefs/bin/pvfs2-ping -m /scratch1 (1) Parsing tab file... (2) Initializing system interface... (3) Initializing each file system found in tab file: /root/ligon/pvfs2tab...
