I'm playing around with getting the client into a usable state on FreeBSD 8.1, and on that platform if you try to use the disk-based cache, it hangs.
It turns out that this hang is in vn_rdwr() (from /usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_vops.c). I've found two ways around this. The first way is to change src/afs/FBSD/osi_machdep.h to change the definition of gop_rdwr() to call vn_rdwr_inchunks() instead. The other way is to lock the vnode with vn_lock(), and then pass the IO_NODELOCKED flag to gop_rdwr(). My questions are: (a) which of these fixes, if either, is acceptable, or is there a better way, (b) is -memcache better for fbsd anyway, and (c) should I just submit this to gerrit? _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
