Linux Crash...
Tests done on LFS 5.1.1 (2.4.27 kernel + libata patch, with or without
grsecurity patch). I use a diskless client configuration, no swap, ~200MB
for the system (total 2GB RAM), AFS cache is 25MB. I tried to move around a
1,5GB file inside the afs directory. Never finished the move. AFS client /
Linux hangs, and I have reboot the system.
Haven't done much more tests for the moment.
I will very soon make more tests, in order to keep or avoid AFS in our
system (which will use it very heavily, if chosen).
