Hello,

We are running OpenAFS server version openafs-server-1.2.3 on redhat =
7.1.  We have created numerous volumes and mount points for these =
volumes.  These volumes are being used to store some application and =
content for our web sites.  The problem we have been having and haven't =
been able to pin point is with one of the sub-directories under a mount =
point.  This sub-directory and all of it's contents have disapeared on =
us twice now.  Like they've been deleted or something.  The mount point =
is still there and other sub-directories under that mount point are =
still there as well with all of their content.  All of the volumes are =
in tact as well.  The only way we have been able to get the missing =
information back is to run the salvage command with the orphan attach =
directive.  The finds the directories and names them in accordance with =
the orphan naming scheme.  Has this happened to anyone out there before? =
 Does anyone have a clue as to how this could be happening?  Let me know =
if I can provide more information that would be helpful in trying to pin =
point our problem.  Thanks=20
