Hiho!

After a debian upgrade at home (with several difficulties which do not
concern OpenAFS directly but the debian package) i found myself with
OpenAFS 1.2.7 and -- after recompiling the kernel module and fixing
the problems with the debian package -- the following problem:

Nov 12 22:08:57 ------- kernel: afs: Lost contact with file server
---.---.-.- in cell ------.---.-- (all multi-homed ip addresses down
for the server)

The message appears on the machine which is the main client (though
not the only one) *and* fileserver and dbserver.

After 'fs checks' the fileserver is immediately "back up".

There should not be a network problem, since everything is on the
local host, right?

It seems to appear frequently after i just booted the system and then
log into gnome (i.e. a lot of load and disk activity). And sometimes
it appears during normal work.

I use a 2.4.19 kernel with low latency and preemption patches, which
has worked reliably with OpenAFS 1.2.6. (well maybe OpenAFS 1.2.7 has
a problem with these patches i don't know of).

The machines at work (with SuSE 8.0, kernel 2.4.18 with SuSE patches
and OpenAFS 1.2.7) have no problems.

The CellServDB and other settings have not been touched by the debian
package scripts.

Sorry for the lack of information. I honestly don't know where to
look.

Kind regards and thanks in advance
Friedel
