Its not. That problem is in the pts userland binary and we are having kernel problems with the openafs.ko module. 1.4.3rc1 is installed on mire. I'd say to install the same kernel on there and try to crash it instead. (You'll of course need to recompile the AFS kernel module.) There are 1.4.3rc1 packages in /usr/src/oafs* on deleuze, I think. If people want to try and use these, install the openafs-modules-source package and get it built. (There is some source patch that docelic knows how to apply) Once that is done, I can get the rest of the AFS packages upgraded later today. I can try and package up the source from the openafs CVS tree, if people think that would help. I'll be around on IRC if people have questions, but I'm busy working here so I won't have time to do things myself until later on tonight (like 8 hours from now.) > It would be preferable to not try a lower kernel version -- I would > like to be able to try running MoinMoin on a FUSE-provided > database-as-filesystem setup, and there are some important FUSE > bugfixes that went into 2.6.18. Well, I don't see these problems on my Ubuntu machines using the 2.6.15 kernel. <<CDC _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
