[OpenAFS] 1.3.77 Brokenness

[Jack Neely]

Folks,

I've been doing some testing with OpenAFS 1.3.77 on the RHEL4 betas.
Just been testing the client against Transarc/OpenAFS 1.2.x servers.

Mostly, things work pretty well.  However, I'm having problems with
large files and have a pretty easy test case.

I keep RHEL/FC install trees in AFS which are served out via HTTP.  I
build the tree on a test machine and use rsync to move it out to AFS
land.  In this case my server is a RHEL3 linux box running OpenAFS
1.2.11.  After moving the tree with rsync (a little over 2G worth) I
see that the cache gets out of sync on large files (20MB, 70MB, etc.)
Rsync complains it cannot delete its dot-files (the file it creates
before moving it to the real filename).  These . files show in an 'ls'
and when I try to rm them I get "No file or directory" yet they still
appear in AFS.  Many of my RPM pacakges are corrupt as well.

When I do the same operation with the 2.4 kernel runnign OpenAFS 1.2.11
things work as expected.

That should be easy enough to reproduce...if you need any more
information just let me know.
