I'm having problems with disconnected mode.
- At one point, I wrote 6 bytes into a file, "hello\n". When I cat'd
the file out, I got 6 nul bytes.
- At another point, I had a 6-byte file containing "hello\n." I wrote 8 new
bytes, "goodbye\n", into it: echo goodbye > test. When I cat'd the
file -- in *online* state -- I got "goodby". Six bytes.
- Here's a transcript, with some other lossage. During the entire
transcript, nothing in the shivers.com cell was being altered from
any other AFS client.
; echo foo > /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers/test4
[now I go offline, using "fs discon offline" in another window.]
; cat /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers/test4
cat: /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers/test4: No such file or directory
; echo foo > /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers/test4
bash: /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers/test4: No such file or directory
; ls /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers
ls: cannot access /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers: No such file or directory
[now I go online, using "fs discon online" in another window.]
; cat /afs/shivers.com/user/shivers/test4

I'm running ubuntu 10.4 on the server and the client. I installed the
openafs-fileserver 1.4.12+dfsg-3 (lucid)
openafs-dbserver 1.4.12+dfsg-3 (lucid)
openafs-krb5 1.4.12+dfsg-3 (lucid)
packages from the standard ubuntu repository on the server. I also
had a 1.4 client set up on both client & server machines. Once I
had it all working, I removed the 1.4 client and set my apt package system to
use the "personal package" site
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openafs/master/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openafs/master/ubuntu lucid main
(which is the "master site" for the version 1.5 openafs packages as
debs), then installed
openafs-client 1.5.75-2~ppa0~lucid1 (ppa.launchpad.net)
openafs-modules-dkms 1.5.75-2~ppa0~lucid1 (ppa.launchpad.net)
That's what has produced the lossage described above.
Any advice?
