FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.6.0_07

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
OpenSUSE 10.3

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
This is part of a cluster, but I am running on the head node

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Create a simple 1-line helloWorld program. Turn it into a jar file.
Both the jar file and the class file run just fine on a Reiser file system.

But move the jar file to a PVFS2 file system, and the code does not work:
jar@tg-login1:/scratch/jar> cd javatest
jar@tg-login1:/scratch/jar/javatest> java -jar hello.jar
mmap failed for CEN and END part of zip file
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:114)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:133)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:70)

Same result if I create the jar file on the PVFS2 system. The class file runs just fine.

I tried this with Java 1.5.0_14 also

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Take HelloWorld.java, make a jar file. Move the file to a PVFS2 file system (or create it there).
jar@tg-login1:/scratch/jar/javatest> java -jar hello.jar
mmap failed for CEN and END part of zip file
