[OpenAFS-devel] Problems with 1.4.8pre2 on Fedora 8

[Hartmut Reuter]

I suppose these "Connection timed out" events must have to do with new 
code in afs_analyze.c and rx.c. Looking in afs_analyze.c at the new
routine afs_BlackListOnce I do not understand the followning lines:

                 if (tvp->serverHost[i] &&
                     !(tvp->serverHost[i]->addr->sa_flags &
                       SRVR_ISDOWN)) {
                     areq->skipserver[i] = 1;
                 }


I think the "!" is wrong. Why should we skip a server which is not down 
and use a server which is down?
