Hello,

I am trying to use dumbfs for some simple FS class projects. I have 
installed SFS and dumbfs according to the instructions.

I can run and use SFS. However, when I try to run dumbfs I get a core dump.

I get the following message:
-- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
genxid (xi=0x0) at keyfunc.h:90

Sometimes along with the above seg fault I also get an error saying 
"/dumbfs-0.0/keyfunc.h no such file or directory". So I am not sure if I 
have configured dumbfs correctly.

I am running dumbfs as "dumbfs localhost:/home/vkher/disk1 /tmp" (I hope 
the arguments are correct, especially using "localhost" is OK.) I have 
configured both with the same --prefix option.

I am running sfs-0.7.2 and dumbfs-0.0 on  Linux 2.4.20-8. I tried to use 
gdb to figure out whats going wrong? While using GDB I got a core dump 
when REFOPS_DEFAULT (cb_t) in callback.h was reached.

Any help to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,
