[Gluster-devel] transport/ib-verbs: server: could not create SRQ

I didn't have that exact option, but I did have 
ibv-recv-work-request-count set to 32. I also added the 
ib-verbs-work-request-recv-count option as well. I've tried several 
values there but I still get the same error. I'm running gluter as root 
on a Centos 5 box upgraded to kernel 2.6.20
I actually found it here: 
https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php?page=Downloading+Code+From+the+OFA+git+Repositories
git link: git://git.openfabrics.org/~vlad/ofed_1_2/.git 
<git://git.openfabrics.org/%7Evlad/ofed_1_2/.git>

pre-patched with the latest infiniband code from openfabrics.
below is the volume spec I'm using as well.

Thanks for your help :-)
