[OpenAFS] enobufs, "No buffer space available" messages

[Renata Maria Dart]

Hi, I found some earlier discussion on openafs about this error
message popping out, it seems when a transaction has taken "longer"
than expected.  I couldn't find anything though that described a
"fix".  Is there a fix?  Or is the fix to get a faster server?  :-)
The discussion that I am referring to took place in October of last year
with the subject "No buffer space available" reported by Stephan
Wiesand.

This is the last of the discussion that I have found:

  As has been pointed out to me, this has been in 1.6 for a while. Sorry;
  I thought I checked, but I was looking at the 'git log' for an older
  version.

  Same thing, though. With 8462 we retry on VNOSERVICE errors, but the
  CreateFile operation is not idempotent, so we can't retry it. We
  probably should retry CreateFile operations, and swallow an EEXIST error
  if it doesn't matter (file was created without O_EXCL). And/or we really
  shouldn't let VNOSERVICE propagate to userspace.

  "About a minute" I think is enough for this.

We are running 1.6.5 fileservers and we are seeing this error
message appear intermittently from a script that updates
links in AFS space.  It comes out at the time the script attempts
to remove a lock file.

Thanks,
