[OpenAFS-devel] fileserver problem

[Harald Barth]

Some thoughts....

On Linux, are multiple threads in a single process adding up to the load?
How many threads do you have?

Do you have full connectivity between the fileserver and this host, i e 
do all UDP packets from the server really reach the client? Firewalls?

I do not know if OpenAFS nowadays has protection against clients with
one-way-connectivity using up all resources (threads or whatever) of
the server. The IBM versions don't seem to have such protection.
