Hi,
on my machine I am seeing very similiar problems when I try to access
many files, e.g.
% grep -r fjasdlfasfdasfsdaasfasf /afs/mpa/data/hans/HOME/
grep: /afs/mpa/data/hans/HOME/.kde/share: Connection timed out
grep: /afs/mpa/data/hans/HOME/.knews: Connection timed out
grep: /afs/mpa/data/hans/HOME/.local: Connection timed out
....
Sometimes the next time this command runs fine (without executing
fs flush,...).=20
I verified this problem on two fileservers.
Client: linux-2.6.25.17, OpenAFS-1.4.8pre2, i386_linux26
Server: linux-2.6.24.7, OpenAFS-1.4.7, i386_linux26
