Summary - Re: [OpenAFS] 1.3.79 on RHEL4?

[Andrei Maslennikov]

Thanks to everyone who commented on this to the list. In the end it looks
like there is a stable configuration that works for both UP and MP
kernels. I have recompiled 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL and the corresponding libafs
module from scratch and all went well for the combination:

          OpenAFS 1.3.79 - kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL (UP/MP)  

Thus the config option that Chas mentioned (CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y)
does not seem to have any destructive effect in case of UP kernel.
This corresponds to what Nathan had observed. 

To conclude, it seems that the problem had dissapeared between 
2.6.9-5.EL/UP and 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL/UP kernels.

Andrei.
