[OpenAFS-devel] Ooops on linux 2.4.19-xfs

[Ullrich Martini]

Hi all,
when starting afsd vrom the stable release 1.2.7 I get an Ooops from the kernel.

When this has happened afsd segfaults.

The kernel is 2.4.19 with xfs patches and raid1. The server is on the same machine. Another machine on
the same network can mount afs partitions from the server where afsd fails, so I presume that the the
server is running. The only uncommon thing about the machine where afsd segfaults  is that it does not 
support DNS lookups at the moment.
/vicepa is an xfs volume - should I use another fs? ext3? It's a large partition and I pefer not to have to
fsck it.
I'll be happy to supply any futher information on request. 

Thanks in advance, Ullrich
