A week ago I mentioned a problem on this list and had a solution
very quickly. Perhaps I should try another?
I have a lot of HP 9000/700 machines running HP-UX 9.01 with AFS 3.3.
For some time (back to AFS 3.2a and 3.2b) we have had a problem with
peculiar variations on volume contents. Here is an example which is
current.
Volume xxx has one read-write and two read-only copies. If I look
at the read-write copy, I find there are 83 files. If I look at the
read-only copy, I sometimes find there are 79, and sometimes 83.
Assuming this is possibly because one of the read-only copies is
corrupt, I do a 'vos release xxx -f', followed by an 'fs checkv'.
No change. I begin to feel desperate measures are called for.
I dump xxx, delete all three copies, restore, do two 'vos adds'
and a 'vos release' (and an 'fs checkv'). The problem persists.
This is what happened to me at this morning's session:
$ cd xxx;ls|wc -l
79
$ cd ..
$ cd xxx;ls|wc -l
83
$ cd ..
$ cd xxx;ls|wc -l
83
$ cd ..
$ cd xxx;ls|wc -l
79
There is no possibility that anyone is altering the volume at this
time. Has anyone seen this? Can anyone offer an explanation?
Better still, can anyone tell me how to stop it?
