(sorry if this comes twice, I forgot to subscribe with this email address)
I saw something like this earlier on the list and was wondering if anyone
(besides myself) has issues with a client losing "contact" with the afsd.
Some background:
connection is a (slow) part of our University network (on-campus housing).
afs client (1.3.87).
SuSe Linux 9.2, 2.6.8 x86_64 kernel
Too frequently, this afs client "loses contact" with the server, though every
other machine I use retains contact.
During such an outage, "fs checks" does give the expected
"These servers unavailable due to network or server problems:
afs26.ifs.umich.edu"
The mysterious part is when i look at a trace from tcpdump while running 'fs
checks', I DO see several responses from the server for every outgoing packet
from my own machine. I'll admit that I don't know the format of the AFS
packets yet, and thus cannot really deduce how the server is responding, but I
would have expected either zero return packets, or garbage in return.
This is a multi-homed address and responses always seem to come from different
various IPs than the one my client sent the request to.
For the record, I tried this with my iptables disabled also.
