Hello,

I'm having trouble with 1.6.1pre2 on Mac OS 10.6.8:

Symptom:

"ls /afs/cern.ch/project/swift" says "swift: Operation timed out"
"fs checkservers" says "These servers unavailable due to network or =
server problems:  afs43.cern.ch"
"cmdebug localhost" doesn't say anything

"fs checkservers; fs checkvolumes" does not help, nor does "fs flush" on =
the path or it's parent

What is surprising is that AFS is so sure that the server is down: =
nobody else sees it down, for the past 30 minutes AFS didn't send a =
single packet to it despite the "checkservers" in a loop.=20

Any idea? Other than cycling AFS?

Cheers, Rainer=
