[OpenAFS] 1.6.0pre2 Filelog CB: WhoAreYou failed for host

[Gémes Géza]

Hi,

I know this topic has been discussed before, but the conclusion was that
it is caused by NAT.
This is impossible in my case, as openafs servers are firewalled from
the outside world.
The fileserver has 3 ethernet interfaces:
1: connected to the clients, two IP addresses one active (other in the
NetRestrict file)
2: connected to a SAN, no IP addresses
3: connected to other cluster memebers, IP address in the NetRestrict file
vos listaddrs gives nothing just the right IP address for the vol and
fileserver.
The FileLog is full of entries like:
CB: WhoAreYou failed for host FILESERVER
Besides that all the clients (1.6.0pre2 on linux, 1.5.78 and 1.6.0pre3
on windows) are working as expected.
Except one (1.6.0pre2 on linux) which has two interfaces (one connected
two the Fileservers network and the other in its NetRestrict file). This
has entries in its syslog like this:

FILESERVER in cell CELLNAME is back up (multi-homed address; other
same-host interfaces may still be down)
the first ls on /afs/CELLNAME/ always fail, and later on (after those
syslog entries, except restarting of course) it starts working.

Thanks for any idea!

Cheers
