I thought that was what the openafs-debuginfo-1.4.2 package delivered.  Will
rebuild.

The clients can not access a volume on these servers at this time but
recover as soon as server is restarted. The disk io is almost none existent
at the time of the problem and load/cpu usage are low. If I knwo what I need
to collect the servers are dying almost every night so I should be able to
get something more useful.

Cheers
