I have indeed changed the cache size (on the advice of this mailing
list!) because I was seeing poor performance otherwise.  The machine
has 512MB physical RAM.  I was under the impression that a larger
cache only potentially wastes disk space.  What is a reasonable cache
size to prevent instability?  We frequently copy media files of sizes
500 MB-1 GB to and from AFS, if that helps.

Since OpenAFS is implicated in the majority of the reports, I doubt
that'd do any good.

Thanks for the help,
