Hi, I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem I'm having with AFS on my machine for several weeks without any success. I've done what I can to find the answer on the web somehwere without success either. Anyhow, I have a RedHat 6.2 linux machine (linux kernel 2.2.14 running on an i686 machine, vendor: VA Linux) and I have AFS 3.6 running on it. Through AFS, I can read files off of other servers on the AFS network. I can even create a file (for example, using touch) or delete a file, so I can at least alter directory info. But I cannot WRITE to a file on another server. For example, if I try 'cat > file1' then a file file1 is created, but I cannot write to it. Allow me to be a little more specific about what I mean by "cannot write to it": at the moment that anything is written to a file on AFS, my machine completely hangs. Everything is frozen; mouse won't move, all processes hang! I have to reboot the machine. This is very reproducible. I have checked AFS quotas, AFS user and group id's, and flushed the AFS cache a few times. Nothing seems to help. I've put the cache on a separate disk partition to ensure that it has enough disk space, and made sure that the appropriate AFS servers are in my CellServDB file. The only item I have which may or may not be a clue is from the /var/log/messages file from startup. The loading of afs appears to go just fine, with cache and servers loading appropriately. But later, further down the messages comes an item from the kernel: Nov 6 10:56:20 genesis kernel: afs: failed to store file (14) If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks, -Gene Van Buren
