Anyone ever resolve the issue of running an old pf app made
with IRIX 5.3 / Performer 1.2 on a 6.2 machine with pf 2.0?

I saw a post like the following last week, but did not see
a response:

Performer Fatal:pfInit: cannot create semaphore arena via NFS
(/usr/tmp). Change PFTMPDIR.

/usr/tmp is not NFS, but it is XFS. Hmmm...

Is it possible the pfInit (or pfInitArenas) checks the fs type?
I looked at "acreate" and it doesn't seem to care, though I'm
not clear on exactly what its allocation strategy is. pfInitArenas
indicates that it uses swap space for mem allocation and /usr/tmp
for semaphore allocation.

bye.
