Hello,
I have to integrate Gentoo-Linux-PCs in an existing AFS cell. I did the great mistake to believe, that I can handle it to get afs working on kernel 2.6. Switching back to 2.4 is not that easy, so I hope somebody can help me.
I installed OpenAFS 1.3.79 as 1.3.80 didn't compile on the system. At the first look it worked and I was able to use afs together with kernel 2.6.11. The first problem appeared, but it seemed acceptable.
Problem 1: AFS breaks shutdown. Unmounting the caching-Partition on /usr/vice/cache always fails. Moreover the libafs-module is not unload able. I cannot kill the afs processes.
After /afs is unmounted and afsd -shutdown has been run? Did they work?
Problem 2: When I try to copy several hundreds of KBs onto the server, it just stops and the process can only be killed by force. When that happens the first time, I can still read from the AFS server. But after some minutes even that just freezes and AFS just works again after reboot. It's not just AFS, the affected user is not able to write on the harddisk anymore.
Willing to try a daily snapshot?
