George,
I had a similiar situation with pfb's, at a remote site.
The pfb's loaded differently on different machines, but the disks were
cloned.
The difference with me was that there was no central server, I had 8
separate nodes, with
lots of copying done to get them all the same.
I had come to believe that I was crazy, because I kept doing checksums, and
not seeing a difference
on the nodes, but they behaved differently.
The only solution I could come up with, was one of these three things:
1. It was so late, and I was so tired, that I just wasn't doing what I
thought I was.
2. Maybe the pfb's have to be generated on the nodes that they are run on.
3. Maybe something else was different, like the BIOS. On our machines, the
AGP aperature is set there.
I have not been back to the site for awhile, and really want to retry this.
Good Luck, and please let me know if you find it was something unobvious.
Chris

Subject: [info-performer] Icorrect textures shown
Hello,
I have a situation where a number of Linux boxes (RH 7.2) with Performer
2.4,
are creating a number of scenes for a single virtual vehicle. The scenes
are for: left rear-view mirror, left out-the-window, right out-the-window,
etc.
The way I have it set up, the IG binaries and database are loaded from a
single machine (a server, from which the other clients mount from).
The problem I'm getting, is that on three of the scenes, the ground textures
show an incorrect pattern, while on one of the scenes, the ground comes out
correctly.
This same behavior can be observed while loading the pfb files using perfly
for those machines.
What's weird here, is that all the machines are running the same binaries
with
the same arguments, on the same pfb files. The machines themselves have
identical hardware configurations (video card, memory, etc), OS, and
software, since they were cloned.
Does anyone have a clue?
