Thank you to everyone that contacted Red Hat about this issue. I would also like to thank Red Hat for being very cooperative and helpful when trying to resolve this issue. Also, note that while the fix that Red Hat is providing does appear to completely fix this latest regression, I'm not sure if the general issue of problems with OpenAFS' Linux mountpoint integration is completely solved. We're still working on further improvements in this area to make sure that problems like this cannot happen again in the future, as the relevant code in Linux continues to evolve. -- Andrew Deason adea...@sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
