AW: [OpenAFS] Can anyone reproduce this under LINUX (was: temporaryreference files do not disappear)

[Derek Atkins]

I wrote a short program (RH7.1) but I cannot reproduce this problem.
The program creates a file, unlinks it, prints a message, sleeps for
60 seconds, and then closes the file.  While it's sleeping I get this:

~> ls -l
total 18
drwxrwxr-x    2 warlord  mit          2048 Jun 14 18:14 .
drwxr-xr-x  104 warlord  root        16384 Jun 14 18:14 ..
-rw-rw-r--    1 warlord  mit             0 Jun 14 18:14 .__afsDA45
[7]    Done                          /tmp/test
~> ls -l
ls: .__afsDA45: No such file or directory
total 18
drwxrwxr-x    2 warlord  mit          2048 Jun 14 18:14 .
drwxr-xr-x  104 warlord  root        16384 Jun 14 18:14 ..
~> ls -l
total 18
drwxrwxr-x    2 warlord  mit          2048 Jun 14 18:15 .
drwxr-xr-x  104 warlord  root        16384 Jun 14 18:14 ..

This is the program I used.  Can you send a similarly-short program
that reliably shows the problem?

-derek

#include <stdio.h>

main ()
{
  FILE *fp;

  fp = fopen ("test", "w+");
  if (!fp) {
    perror ("fopen");
    return -1;
  }
  unlink ("test");
  printf ("test unlinked...\n");
  sleep (60);
  fclose (fp);
}
