In recent times I have seen two times a "vos release" of a critical volume to fail. I may have wrongly interpreted the error message.

I am too chasing a second problem where a Debian OpenAFS client fail to comunicate with the fileserver and this problem is frequent. May I think that this timeout is about 60 seconds? And that I need to recompile the client to increase or decrease the timeout? > > -Ben > > > decrease the timeouts in OpenAFS and other timeouts in Linux to > > identify if I have a possible problem with the data network, iSCSI > > network, overload on the hosts of VM, overload on the file servers or > > other possible problem. > > > > The core of my infra-structure are 4 afsdb running Debian 9, and using > > OpenAFS from Debian 1.6.20, on a shared virtualization platform.
