Hello ,
When 3 large rsync processes and around 40 ftpd processes access
afs for a long time ( around 12 hours) on a linux 2.4.31 system , /afs
starts pointing to some random file in afs like it is a dead symbolic
link,for example /afs >/some/folder/in/afs/. The "link" is random.
Cding to /afs results in "no such file or directory". Processes that were
accessing afs before that problem continue to do so untill they finish.
Restarting the afs client makes the problem go away. Using disk cache the
problem never appeared.
Best regards ,
