| Recently we upgraded a number of our DEC workstations (~100) from
| ultrix 4.3/AFS 3.2a (pmax_ul43) to ultrix 4.4/afs 3.3a (pmax_ul43a).
| Similarly to previous reports, we're experiencing unusually long delays
| which we believe are attributeable, in part, to the cache manager stat()
| problem mentioned by Chuck Silvers below.
We also updated to afs 3.3a file servers and began to upgrade the
our clients dispite the slowness problems. We had to retro-fit
back to AFS 3.2b clients because we found that our Ultrix 4.3a
MIPS workstations running afs3.3a clients will not load and exicute
a binary bigger then (approximately) 5 meg out of /afs. Whereas
that binary works just fine when loaded from the local disk or
from afs and an afs3.2b client.
