[OpenAFS] vanishing directory entry problem with OpenAFS 1.3.76

[Matthew Miller]

I'm using OpenAFS 1.3.76 on Fedora Core Linux, kernel 2.6.9-1.6_FC2smp. I'm
rsyncing several dozen gigabytes from the local disk into AFS, and have come
across a problem. Periodically, files appear to just vanish -- they don't
show up to ls, and stat also says the file isn't found, but attempting to
create a new file with the same name fails with the error that the file
already exists. Running fs flush on the directory holding the missing entry
corrects the problem.

I've got a 2GB cache, and obviously it's getting more-than-filled as part of
this file transfer. And it is an SMP system.

What can I do to help further diagnose this?
