[OpenAFS] Crash testing OpenAFS

[ted creedon]

I can make 1.3.87 crash at will.

Tried to cp two 1.2.11 volumes to the new file server and it hung after a
long while.

No interesting info in cmdebug or fstrace.

I'll send info tomorrow.

Need some prompting on tcpdump. 

Hardcore.

both servers running linux?  which kernel?  client is running linux?
which kernel?  which version of afs on the client?

after it stops, on the afs client, run: 

	cmdebug localhost 7001 -long

also, look in /usr/afs/logs on both servers.  in particular, FileLog and
VolserLog. 

you might also try running 'fstrace setset' (as root) after the cp stops
running properly, wait a minute or two, and then issue 'fstrace dump' and
see if anything is in there.

failing any of that, we will likely need to a tcpdump capture from the
client.  check the archives for proper options.

about how much data?

>4. cp -rvp /afs/.bigcell/foo/* /afs/.bigcell/bar #does seem to work.

how about:

cp -rvp /afs/.home.ted-doris.fam/foo/* /afs/.home.ted-doris.fam/bar
