[OpenAFS] File System timeouts

[Taylor, Garry]

Good afternoon;

Anyone out there know if AFS (Andrew File System) has a variable or other
timeout which can be modified or altered in order to extend this timeout
parameter for response time between the volumes and the client and/or AFS
Master DB.  We have a situation where a customer is utilizing AFS and it
seems that if the volume is not seen by the client for several seconds, the
AFS volume goes into a "restructuring mode" (modified FSCK) to rebuild them.
Since this is the apparent case, I would wonder if the server had dual HBA's
as to whether the server would failover quickly enough to prevent this in
case of an HBA failure or the resetting of a controller within the disk
sub-system.
