I think I need to apologize about this. Some of this thread looks to be implying that "nobody" sees these issues besides Russ and those few other sites, but that's not true. I didn't really mean that; that comment above really was just meant in the context of trying to think about what the issue could be ("what is specific to stanford?"), and I'm not trying to belittle the issue. While the sites I talk to frequently do tend to run pretty well with 1.4-based builds these days... they do so with a pile of patches on top of 1.4.14, 1.4.12, 1.4.7, etc. So, if we are talking about just the public releases (and in retrospect I'm not sure what else we'd be talking about), yes, those have significant stability issues for higher volume sites, and none of the public releases are, by some definitions, useable for them. Maybe those sites would have had stability issues that look like this, but they were found and patched early on. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
