This would seem to indicate a hand-built kernel rather than the stock Debian kernel.

That's the main reason why I asked above about the kernel, since the stock Debian kernels have keyrings enabled, which should mean that an OpenAFS client built against them could not have the above crash. If you're building your own kernels, be sure to enable keyrings, since AFS takes advantage of them to do much better PAG management. That will probably resolve your problem. (There's likely still a bug here, but it's a bug in code that's increasingly becoming dead as people switch to using keyring-based PAGs. That's what the Linux kernel developers would prefer that we use, since it involves fewer ugly hacks.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
