[OpenAFS] sudden crash

[FBO]

Hi all,

what is the expected behavior if i'm reading a big
file from a replicated RO-Volume and the server
(I'm actually reading from) crashes?

How long will the cachemanager wait until he
decides to choose another server where a
RO-copy resides?

Will the cachemanager be able to decide that
it's time to use the RW of that volume
(if no more replicas are available)?

Will the cachemanager read the whole file again
or just the part not read yet?

How often does the cachemanager check if the
crashed server is available again?

What if the crashed server was the DB-Server
currently used (another one is available)?
How long will the cachemanager try to contact
the crashed server until he decides to
choose the other one?


Thank you for all responses.

Regards,

FBO
