Brandon, I'm afraid redirecting to local files is unlikely to work in this case, since the client image is read-only. Only the homedirs on the server survive client reboots. That is intentional and an important feature of the Liitin concept (www.liitin.org). Hmmm, certain things are likely to be

Andrew, I now tested the 1.6.6pre1 from the ppa repository, but couldn't see any obvious improvements on the issues my configuration has. But you did help me by suggesting to use "strace" to find out the possible causes. Thanks once again! br, jukka >> On Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:28:58 -0600 >> And

ok, thank for all these explanations, if i refer to these slides : http://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw08/talks/fri_1/Disconnected.pdf ;) fs discon mode on read only must work . I test discon mode using R/W volume , do you think it works better with RO volume ? Regards, Nicolas Prochazka 2013/12
