Hi, we had a user report that he was only getting 0-length core files from his segfaulting executable when writing the core into AFS from a rhel6 64-bit linux system. We have confirmed that under OpenAFS 1.6.5 this appears to be so. The executable can write a normal core file on that same linux system if writing to nfs or /tmp. Is this a known issue that might be fixed in a later version of OpenAFS?
A bit more information...we had a rhel6 64-bit linux system running OpenAFS 1.6.1 and a back-level linux kernel 2.6.32-358.23.2 that could successfully write a core file into AFS. We upgraded the version of OpenAFS to 1.6.5 leaving the kernel at the same older level and now only get 0-length core files when writing to AFS. The same failure occurs with OpenAFS 1.6.5 and newer linux kernels like 2.6.32-431.11.2. Core files written to OpenAFS 1.6.2 are also fine.
