lapkluth2:~# /etc/init.d/openafs-client force-start
Starting AFS services:FATAL: Error inserting openafs (/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/fs/openafs.ko): Cannot allocate
memory
Failed to load AFS kernel module, not starting AFS
This behaviour started after the recent kernel upgrade to
2.6.18.dfsg.1-12. The module was built with "m-a auto-install" which
reported no errors.
As a result stop/start of openafs-client is impossible (without a reboot)
and thus for a mobile user it is unusable.
Cheers, Stefan
