[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Re: port-darwin digest, Vol 1 #311 - 1 msg

[Mikey Orr]

W'e're having a similar experience over here at UC Santa Cruz. We have 
a lab with 20 shiny new iMacs running 10.4.2 all with the Tiger build 
of OpenAFS. Most of the time, a user will just be surfing the web or 
typing up a paper and the machine will just stall with the beach ball 
of death. A reboot seems to be the only way to bring the computer back. 
It will often freeze again during the reboot, right after you see the 
grey Apple screen (probably an unrelated issue), but usually comes back 
up just fine on the 2nd reboot. =)
