I'll copy the user's build environment into my volume, then
try it when she comes into work this afternoon. Other 'general'
activities have been happening on the boxes w/o problem --
1.2.6 looks much more stable than 1.2.4, what we were previously
running.

9G disk cache on a 10G ext3 partition. /etc/sysconfig/afs options are
set to XXLARGE,
"-stat 4000 -dcache 4000 -daemons 6 -volumes 256 -files 50000" .

These boxes will be used as a cross between high-volume X
environment servers and compute servers. The computation
side of things (as it relates to AFS) right now involves image processing=
,
reading in a few gigs of PPMs.

As a first level test on one of the machines, I'll blow away the
cache, then mount it as ext2 to try to get some more anecdotal
evidence pro or against ext3.
