[OpenAFS] Can't get this going on Coraid CLN22 (Debian).

[Tony Shadwick]

I've been bouncing in and out of #OpenAFS for the last week trying to 
get this working, and I've been working with Coraid support and all to 
no avail.  It appears something is up with pthreads, but Coraid support 
ran a test and pthreads work in the kernel.  Rather than copy and paste 
the whole long deal, here's the page I have on my site with all of the info:

http://www.numbski.com/hacks/coraid/openafs-on-cln22.html

In that log you'll see I've tried using both afs-newcell and the script 
found at Debian World.

Here's the logs without and without fileserver -d 99 turned on (I know, 
bad loglevel, didn't know until afterwards though):

nas1:/var/log/openafs# cat /var/log/openafs/FileLog

and with logging turned up:

nas1:/var/log/openafs# cat FileLog

Thu Mar 29 14:03:02 2007
: Assertion failed! file ../viced/viced.c, line 1958.

The code in question:

1954    assert(pthread_create
1955           (&serverPid, &tattr, (void *)FiveMinuteCheckLWP,
1956            &fiveminutes) == 0);
1957    assert(pthread_create
1958           (&serverPid, &tattr, (void *)HostCheckLWP, &fiveminutes) 
== 0);
1959    assert(pthread_create
1960           (&serverPid, &tattr, (void *)FsyncCheckLWP, &fiveminutes) 
== 0);
1961 #else /* AFS_PTHREAD_ENV */
1962    ViceLog(5, ("Starting LWP\n"));
1963    assert(LWP_CreateProcess
1964           (FiveMinuteCheckLWP, stack * 1024, LWP_MAX_PRIORITY - 2,
1965            (void *)&fiveminutes, "FiveMinuteChecks",
1966            &serverPid) == LWP_SUCCESS);

Totally lost, frustrated and confused.  Any devs wish to take pity on me 
and help?  This is an AMD64 box running Debian.
