Hi Mike
Yes we've been running this some...Saturday we put it into what I'd
call production...(we had probably over 150 clients "kind of" using it...
read this not heavily..) we found that it was short on memory...config was
SS20/71 with 256 MB..Yesterday I found a very nasty bug. Inquire to AFS
product support about TR-23781. From a Unix workstation:
mount afs_nfs_xlator:/afs /a
will crash the afs_nfs_xlator machine within a second or two..If you
do try this kill the mount attempt after the machine crashes the first time
otherwise when the machine reboots it'll try the mount again and you'll
just keep crashing continuously. I sent some core dumps in to them
and I believe someone else had also reported this earlier..Grim...
We found that with single client testing Solaris 2.5 is about on par
SunOS...after they fixed an earlier bug we reported with SunOS
(which resulted in write performance of 5 Kb/sec ;-)..I guess they
never test their stuff ;-)
BTW..Does Doug Gullett and Dwayne McNeil still work at UNCC...I heven't
heard from them for several years...
Good Luck..
