[OpenAFS-devel] Client for RedHat 7.1

[Kuba Ober]

Hi,
it's me (the usual complainer ;-) again.

(complaint 1 - RedHat 7.1)
The RedHat 7.1 client, as installed under RedHat 7.1 out-of-the-box is stable 
for some time only.
Afterwards, the afsd processes are dead and not reacting to kill -9. This can 
be helped with afsd -shutdown, but umount /afs fails anyway.
Sometimes the afsd processes are busy (they eat CPU time), but that's not 
always reproducible.
So, because /afs cannot be unmounted, the libafs module cannot be rmmod'ed 
either, and the only solution is to reboot (ugh).

I'm using RedHat stock 2.4.2 kernel, with precompiled OpenAfs module matching 
this kernel.

I'm generally happy with afs, but right now only afs server can run on my 
server machine, and clients can only run on Windows machines, which they do 
happily.

Cheerz,
Kuba
