Hi!

- From yesterday to today 2 clients decided not to be able anymore to
startup AFS service.

Both are Win XP SP3 OpenAFS 1.5.52.
One fileserver had problems due the night and went off/on, thats
resolved now and the two failed client has been restarted more than once.
Even after logging in and trying to start the service by hand shows me:
not able to start.

The clients can reach the AFS DB servers and fileservers, they know
where the volumes are (vos exa root.afs and vos exa root.afs e.g. are
working).
I put the afsd_init log as zip files here:
http://aceini.no-ip.info/afs/afsd_init.zip
http://aceini.no-ip.info/afs/afsd_init2.zip

Both shows me: root.cell not found.

Strange error as the clients know where the root.cell is (vos exa tells
me correct values).

Any hint?

BTW: why does Win OpenAFS client has big issues if one DB server is
down, while Linux clients working flawless?

MfG,
Lars Schimmer
