What are the glibc wrappers and/or where are they now?

0

The glibc wrappers are no longer supported as of PVFS version 1.5.0. They were discontinued because their functionality has been subsumed by the pvfs-kernel package. There may still be references to these wrappers in documentation occasionally, but this will be corrected over time. For curious readers, the wrappers were a mechanism for providing compatibility with existing applications by wrapping libc I/O function calls and trapping the ones that dealt with PVFS. As you may imagine, it was rather difficult to maintain software that depended on very specific versions of libc to operate correctly. We now provide a much higher level of compatibility through a kernel module client side implementation.
