[OpenAFS] directory corruption with Linux 2.4.[16|17]

[John Bleichert]

Hello All

I've bumped 2 boxes on my LAN up to kernels 2.4.16 and 2.4.17 and 
occasionally, after being logged in for a while, a working directory can 
become corrupted. If I do an 'ls' in that directory, I get a bunch of 
binary gibberish in the listing and can't make any sense out of the 
directory contents. 

I think it's just my client cache getting corrupted - if I log into 
another AFS client and check that same directory its contents are fine. 
Also, this may happen randomly in any directory. Logging out and then back 
in doesnt seem to clear it up and unloading/loading the AFS client doesn't 
*always* clean it up.

Is anybody else seeing this? I'm also running XFS (from SGI) - I've been 
running it for over a year now but this problem only popped up as of 
kernel 2.4.16.

Anybody else seeing this? It's really annoying :-(

Thanks - JB
