[OpenAFS] Orphaned directories

[Derek Atkins]

Do you have any "interested" messages in any of your server
logs on the affected fileserver?

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
