[OpenAFS-devel] [FOR TESTING] OpenAFS 1.3.87 RPMs for RHEL4 (i386, x86_64)

[Christopher Allen Wing]

Alex:

I can't reproduce this on a x86_64 SMP machine (hyperthreading P4).

We generally don't have many large files in our AFS cell. I haven't 
experienced any crashes while testing RHEL4 and openafs 1.3 over the past 
months, though.



I created 8 250 MB files in AFS and did:

 	cat * >/dev/null


with a 100 MB disk cache, and a 500 MB disk cache. No crashes.
