Excerpts from transarc.external.openafs: 29-Jan-02 [OpenAFS] bug in
OpenAFS cl.. Jason Garman@wedgie.org (1138*)
> The problem can be reproduced by, for example:
> 1) user: "fs mkm Backup usr.username.backup"
> 2) admin: "vos backupsys"
> 3) user: "cd Backup"
> now user will see "connection timed out". The client gets into a state
> where no matter what you do, you can't get it to recognize the new backup
> volume until you restart the client (or in the case of Linux... the box
> itself)
> note that before 1) ... "vos backupsys" hadn't been run yet, so there was
> nothing in the user's backup volume.
You said you did the "fs flush" commands, but did you do "fs checkvolumes"?
