DESCRIPTION

16       PVFS2 is a parallel virtual file system for clusters.  PVFS   harnesses
17       commodity  storage  and network technology to provide concurrent access
18       to data that is distributed across a (potentially large) collection  of
19       servers.

21       This  man page documents general features of the PVFS2 system.  See the
22       man pages for individual programs for more specific information.

FILES

27              This file maps absolute pathnames to pvfs2 servers and  volumes.
28              If  the PVFS2TAB_FILE environment variable is set, programs will
29              use the file at that location instead.  See pvfs2tab(5) for more
30              information.
