What is the format of the PVFS version string?
PVFS uses a three-number version string: X.Y.Z. The first number (X) represents the high level design version of PVFS. The current design version is 2, and will likely remain there. The second number (Y) refers to the major version of the release. Major versions are incremented with new features, protocol changes, public API changes, and storage format changes. The third number (Z) refers to the minor version of the release, and is incremented primarily for bug fix releases. With our 2.6.0 release, we changed the release version and name from PVFS2 1.x.x, to PVFS 2.x.x. Users familiar with ‘PVFS2’ and had been using PVFS2 1.5.1 will find the same software in PVFS version 2.6.0 or later (with updates and new features of course). Users of PVFS version 1 can still go to: http://www.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs, although we highly encourage you to upgrade to PVFS version 2, if you are still using version 1.
