BUILDING THE USERSPACE FILESYSTEM ON A SINGLE SERVER
====================================================
-When Orangefs is upstream, "--with-kernel" shouldn't be needed, but
-until then the path to where the kernel with the Orangefs kernel client
-patch was built is needed to ensure that pvfs2-client-core (the bridge
-between kernel space and user space) will build properly. You can omit
---prefix if you don't care that things are sprinkled around in
-/usr/local.
+You can omit --prefix if you don't care that things are sprinkled around in

+will probably be changing the default to lmdb soon.

If stuff seems to be working, turn on the client core:
/opt/osf/sbin/pvfs2-client -p /opt/osf/sbin/pvfs2-client-core
