[OpenAFS] some afs clients are unreachable afs servers from time to time.

[TIARA System Man]

thank you..  : ) but, i have further questions. if you could tell me
more, it will be appreciated.

there should be the reason afs programmers let server restart at
sunday 4am by default. if i turn it off, will server become more
unstable? i found previous threads at
http://www.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2001-September/001978.html.

do you suggest to turn off auto restart? thanks..

best, sam
