[OpenAFS] Filesystem incoherence

[Daniel Richard G.]

Hello,

I am making use of OpenAFS (mostly 1.4.1, some 1.4.0) on a network of 
Debian/Ubuntu Linux client machines, with a Debian Linux server.

I have encountered intermittent cases where a file written/modified on 
another system is not visible/updated unless the (receiving) machine 
flushes the affected volume.

I've been told that this situation seems to occur more frequently with 
higher space utilization of the on-disk cache, but so far this is just a 
hunch. (Generally, we are using large cache partitions, e.g. 16 or 24 GB)

How should I diagnose and address this problem?
