Hi, configuring Linux machine as NIS server, we found a strange problem - AFS hangs if there are several (4) instances of "pwck -r" running simultaneously. pwck verifies integrity of /etc/passwd, and it stat's all user home dirs. We have ~3000 unix accounts with home dirs in AFS (each home directory is a volume). I succeeded to reproduce this problem running several instances (10+) of the following short script: #!/bin/tcsh #Usage <command> <file with the long list of AFS mount points> foreach i (`cat $1`) /bin/ls -ld $i end
The problem is reproducible on Linux 2.4.2 and 2.4.9 kernels with OAFS 1.2.3, I couldn't reproduce it on 2.4.2 with IBM AFS 3.6 patch 4. Here are the last lines from fstrace output: time 206.474904, pid 1262: Access vp 0xe0aa0000 mode 0x40 len 0x800 time 206.474904, pid 1262: Access vp 0xe0aa0000 mode 0x40 len 0x800 time 206.474904, pid 1262: Access vp 0xe0aa05b8 mode 0x40 len 0x1000 time 206.474904, pid 1262: Access vp 0xe0aa05b8 mode 0x40 len 0x1000 time 206.474904, pid 1262: Access vp 0xe0ad33b0 mode 0x40 len 0x800 time 206.474904, pid 1262: Access vp 0xe0ad3598 mode 0x40 len 0x800 time 206.484904, pid 1256: Analyze RPC op -1 conn 0xd3f5e6c0 code 0x0 user 0x0 time 206.484904, pid 1256: Mount point is to vp 0xe0bb8938 fid (1:537094601.42.831) time 206.504904, pid 1265: Access vp 0xe0aa0000 mode 0x40 len 0x800 time 206.504904, pid 1265: Access vp 0xe0aa0000 mode 0x40 len 0 You can see that the last line is incomplete. Any thoughts?
