[OpenAFS-devel] Strange hangs in openafs 1.4.1 linux 2.6.17.7

[Jerry Lundström]

Hi,

I have noticed very strange client hangs running a custom netboot image
that has most parts of /usr in afs. We use this netboot image for
installation and some times programs hangs in wchan afs_cv_wait and this
is the tcpdump of afs traffic:


09:17:15.011804 IP client.afs3-callback > server1.afs3-fileserver:  rx
data fs call fetch-status fid 537185423/4227/29342 (44)
09:17:15.781413 IP server1.afs3-fileserver > client.afs3-callback:  rx

09:17:49.342721 IP server2.afs3-fileserver > client.afs3-callback:  rx

09:17:49.342812 IP client.afs3-callback > server2.afs3-fileserver:  rx
abort cb reply probeuuid errcode 1 (32)

Has anyone seen/heard of anything similar and what the cause might be?
Has this been fixed/confirmed/noticed?

Regards,
Jerry
