I just noticed something peculiar, but I haven't been able to track it down yet. But on both x86 with SuSE's 2.4.18-4GB kernel and UltraSparc with 2.4.19-pre7 kernel and openafs 1.2.3, I get an ESTALE returned when I do an ls-al /afs. I don't see the problem on a 2.4.17 kernel. I was wondering if anyone had seen that behaviour? Ken Aaker
