At first, I need the kernel traces (with printed kernel function names, instead of hexadecimals only), and the source files of OpenAFS which you are using. > I use Debian Testing, the problem startet in the last summer, with > Linux Kernel 3.9 or 3.10 and is still there in Debians 3.13.5.

A few years ago, a problem around symlink(2) under OpenAFS+aufs was reported and I read OpenAFS source files at that time. I found a unusual d_drop() call in OpenAFS and developed a workaound patch for that problem. The reporter told me that the problem was fixed. But that was very old versions, and I don't think this is your case. J. R. Okajima ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
