Re: [OpenAFS] memcache or diskcache on ramdisk
EC wrote: Hi, Do using memory cache for AFSD 'better' (faster, more stable, etc..) than disk cache over RAMDISK or TMPFS ? EC. My experience with 1.3.74 is that memcache is really fast. We reach 70 MB/s for write and 48 MB/s for read of an 8 GB file which is about 20 MB/s faster than with ramdisk. This was on SuSE SLES-9 with kernel 2.6.5-7. With the 2.6 kernel there is still a problem that the disk cache gets full which makes the use of ramdisk nearly impossible. Of course disk cache still makes sense if your network is slower than your local disk. But in production environments such as blade centres the network typically is much faster than the internal disk.

Re: [OpenAFS] Re: AFS Perl module and threaded Perl
Norbert Gruener [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Here is my description which I had sent to some users of my module. problem description - And this is the outcome. Perl in the thread version is linked against the libpthread system library. Therefore it gets the thread version of the system calls (in our case longjmp). Whereas OpenAFS is using its own threading package (called LWP). And these two things are not compatible. I don't understand... LWP doesn't provide its own version of longjmp, so far as I can tell. It just calls the system version. I could prove that by linking the OpenAFS vos binary against the libpthread. Then the vos binary crashed exactly on the same statement as the Perl AFS module. Is it perhaps doing something that breaks some assumption made by the pthread version of the libraries? The final conclusion of this case is that as long as OpenAFS is using its own threading, it is not possible to use Perl with 'threading'. problem description - Even if this is the case, this shouldn't be an impediment to getting the AFS Perl module working, should it? After all, none of the *client* code does any threading at all.

[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.3.73 on Windows, VPN problems...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! We dicovered a problem with the OpenAFS Client on windows XP ServicePack 2 on a dell notebook. We've got our cell on a subnet at work and bind some user in this subnet with ppptp on a redhat fedora core 1 server. So if the users make a VPN connection with this server, they get a IP from our subnet and acting like they were here at work. The problem a client discovered is with hibernating the notebook. He doesn't reboot the notebook for quiet a long time, instead hibernate it or set it to sleep mode. So in one session the notebook connects to our cell over WLAN, ethernet-TP, ppptp OVER DSL. And after using the ppptp tunnel for openafs and hibernating the notebook, the openafs client hang. And at all the whole notebook hang, because after activate the windows, the client wants to use the explorer and then the explorer seems to access data on the afs-tree, and afs hangs. He can click on the afs-icon and try to get the afs-client-window, but it is opened in the back so no chance to stop the afs-service. Another client is able to stop the afs-service and after stopping/starting the afs service, everything's back to normal. Any hint on how to prevent the locking of the notebook?

When the problem occurs, attach windbg to afsd_service.exe and capture a full minidump file. Send the minidump file to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hopefully, I will be able to identify the deadlock.

Re: [OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.2.13 and fsck problems on Solaris 9
I did some more testing using OpenAFS 1.3.74 vfsck on a small partition
on a Solaris9 system to look at why it might fail. Here is a patch
to help debug the vfsck to get more debugging info if it fails.
There are two failure situations I ran into: A files system 1Tb
and logging.
If a file system was created with the newfs -T option or mkfs_ufs -o mtb=y
this is creating a file system the can exceed 1Tb. This uses a different
magic number in the super block, and the OpenAFS fsck will fail with
MAGIC NUMBER WRONG. It might take major changes to support this.
Logging allows for fast recovery. It can be turned on and off using the
mount command. See man mount_ufs. Logging may also be turned on
for a large partition, IIRC some one said Solaris 10 will do this?
The fs_logbno filed of the first super block contains the block # of the
embedded log. It appears to be only in the first super block.
The vfsck does not account for this difference when comparing the first
and alternate super blocks, and you can get the BAD SUPER BLOCK:
VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE.
Note this field is saved over a mount and may even be used as a flag
to continue logging on subsequent mounts.
If I mounted the file system with -o nologging then unmount,
it appears to have cleared this field, and the OpenAFS vfsck works
as expected.
following is a patch to src/vfsck/setup.c for 1.3.74 to dump
the super block and if the memcmp fails dump the alternate super block
so you can see what was different. You might want to try this, to see
if it is the fs_logbno at offest 0x052c or some other problem.
