The subsystem that remembers cell information has logic for timeouts and has the structure for remembering the cells; you just duplicated it it an entirely separate place except only for negative results for some reason. So now we'd have two separate caches to deal with, which seems rather confusing and error prone, and I see no reason to do it like that. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
