[OpenAFS-devel] error report with hardly any useful information, an assert in file server code

[Neulinger, Nathan]

Just upgraded a server to current snapshot, and got this assert. I
believe it was in the process of trying to do a dump or a clone. I'm not
positive.

Assertion failed! file /umr/s/openafs/openafs/src/viced/afsfileprocs.c,
line 6725.

That looks to be something to do with large file support.=20

I also got a couple of these, but have not been able to reproduce.

Mar 12 15:18:06 afs-fs8 volserver[20341]: 1 Volser: Clone: Cloning
volume 537102738 to new volume 538198043=20
Mar 12 15:18:11 afs-fs8 volserver[20341]: 1 Volser: WriteFile: Error
reading dump file 1 size=3D354304 nbytes=3D136179608 (-702464 of =
136179607);
restore aborted=20
Mar 12 15:18:11 afs-fs8 volserver[20341]: 1 Volser: ReadVnodes: IDEC
inode 67108865

I need to check and make sure, but it looks like I'm seeing a bunch of
warnings about idle transactions that I wasn't seeing before. They are
all against clone volumes that were being used for dumps.

Just got another one of those assertions.=20

Basically, current cvs file/volserver code appears to have some issues.
I'm going to try getting some more details on another server with some
test volumes...=20
