Kathy,
Thanks for your response. I have two questions.
First, it is not clear from your messages whether this problem and the
"large file" problem exist in AFS 3.2a or just in 3.2. I get the
impression that they do exist in 3.2a.
Second, it sounds as though the "full partition" problem has been
known and fixed for a while. I find it rather disconcerting that we
had to experience it before hearing about it. Is there any formal
mechanism for notification of major bug fixes such as this?
