[OpenAFS-devel] Linux 2.6.10, OpenAFS 1.3.80 hangs

[Miles Davis]

I was wondering if anybody has seen this before before I investigate 
futher. I discovered multiple problems when I upgraded several FC2 boxes 
to kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC2. Users of these machines began reporting weird 
hangs when running certain programs or, more often, running make. I've got 
one source tree in particular that hangs a system like clockwork. The 
system didn't freeze so much as stop responding. One could even background 
the make after it hung, but that's about it. Running anything else hung. 
The system still responded to pings.

I took a look at rxdebug for the client and server while doing the hanging 
make, and it appeared perfectly normal. Reverting to 2.6.9-1.62_FC2 
eliminates the problem. In the interests of debugging 1.3, I'd be willing 
to grant access to an example machine or provide more debugging details if 
that will help.
