however I am concerned about the error. How is it that an authentication
can expire when the client is automatically reinitiated and aklog'd every 6
hours?

Any help is appreciated! I have already upgraded and rebooted all three
servers, lowest to highest, to no avail. I also attempted moving the data
files out of the way and starting the affected vlserver, but the same
symptoms remain.

Telmate / San Francisco,
ss did not release it, even though the IP
was no longer active.
So I moved one volume. That worked. But I didn't want to do that for the
entire fileserver.
So I entered -rxbind to the fileserver process and restarted it.
Voila. Problem solved.

Okie.. that directory was, in fact, mounted RW in the RO path. Interesting!
Blind sided me a bit there :)
Let me ask, is this what happens if you use the -rw flag to fs mkmount? I
just re read the man page and.. it does seem to be true.

It still went for the 35000 pref server.

The problem will fix itself once the salvage is over, but this is
disturbing... what can I do to avoid this sort of problem in future? Am I
doing something wrong here? Better troubleshooting? Advice appreciated :)

rs to AFS. It
breaks security, of course. But for performance purposes, and on a private
VLAN, it serves my purpose well.

In addition, plenty of memory free on both client and server, and no CPU

This seems counter intuitive... the 100 or so files do not go over the
500,000 block cache size. They are fairly small (10's to 100's of
kilobytes). Why would increasing cache size impact performance Negatively
in such a case?

The files are being not being read after they are written.. its a bulk
write operation.
Thanks or that tip on dcache.. I somehow didn't catch it was for a memory
cache only...

I feel I am missing something.. although I do understand the basics here,
and the relation of the various parameters to activity, I am guessing that
I am missing something important re: tuning client vs. fileserver for bulk
operations. Can anyone advise?
Thanks muchly,

Well now, this seems like a very nice possibility as an AFS file server
cluster, in a box:
SuperMicro * 2015TA-HTRF

Any advice? I am free to reconfigure my cell as I need to accommodate.

can send it off for people to review and use :) If I could have some help
with getting afsio working properly, I think that will be enough to get me
going.
Thanks also to everyone else as well.. I am learning more about the
underpinnings of file systems working with AFS than I have in a very long
time!

talking about
multiple gigabytes per release, I can imagine it being extremely difficult.
Is there a schema that i can use with OpenAFS that will help alleviate this
problem? Or perhaps another approach I am missing that may solve it better?

PS: FYI the reason I chose AFS
I found a workaround for now.. I hope it finds some use amongst the
community, assuming the linux NFS translator really isn't working properly
(as seems to be intimated in the emails I recently found)
You can use unionfs with an afs volume and a normal volume, and then NFS
export THAT unionfs dire
(No such file or
directory)
open("/proc/fs/openafs/afs_ioctl", O_RDWR) = 3
ioctl(3, CAPI_REGISTER or SNDCTL_COPR_LOAD, 0x7fff18ec3a10) = -1 ENODEV (No

The volume is back in operation and working correctly.
So, one more for the books. When salvaging, watch for OOM killing.

I'll keep you all posted. There wasn't an error in the AFS logs that
indicated that salvager proceses had been killed due to OOM. It was only in
the kernel logs.

ot;renewing" a volume in the VLDB from the data set on the partition? That is
to say, can you remove a volume from the VLDB and regenerate it in the
VLDB from what is on disk alone?
