[OpenAFS] vos release problem

[Thomas Mueller]

Hello,

could someone please review the following problem
(OpenAFS 1.2.10, i386_linux24):

- create a volume at fileserver A (vos create)=20
- mount it and create a file within the volume (touch)
- define fileserver A as replica site (vos addsite)
- define fileserver B as a second replica site (vos addsite)
- create the replicas (vos release)
- create a second file within the volume (e.g. modify the content of
  the volume's root directory - touch)
- re-create the replicas (vos release)
- look into the RO volume, make sure to access fileserver B by setting
  the fileserver preferences
- my problem at this point is: the volume's root directory is empty

Looking at the directory file at the fileserver's partition I see:

fileserver A:

ls -ln /vicepa/AFSIDat/j/jITQj=3D/+/+/=3D+++?2
---------x    1 2        0            2048 Nov 10 16:19 /vicepa/AFSIDat/j/j=
ITQj=3D/+/+/=3D+++22

fileserver B:

ls -ln /vicepa/AFSIDat/j/jITQj=3D/+/+/=3D+++?2
----------    1 3        0               0 Nov 10 16:20 /vicepa/AFSIDat/j/j=
ITQj=3D/+/+/=3D++++2

(Note: the pathname depends on the volume-ID).
The problems is: the directory file at fileserver B shouldn't have a size
of 0 bytes...

I can't say wheter other versions of OpenAFS had this problem too, but it s=
eems
to me that it is new in 1.2.10.

Thanks,
