It seems that our locking problem in openafs-1.2.6-rc1 is memcache related. We used the following memcache settings:
MEMCACHE="-blocks 128000 -stat 2800 -memcache -daemons 6 -volumes 512" OPTIONS=$MEMCACHE Running 4 concurrent instances of bonie++ locks up our machine reproducibly: /bonnie++ -d /afs/.../test -s 256 -u <user> -r 128 /bonnie++ -d /afs/.../test -s 256 -u <user> -r 128 /bonnie++ -d /afs/.../test -s 256 -u <user> -r 128 /bonnie++ -d /afs/.../test -s 256 -u <user> -r 128 Please note the the machine doesn't lock up if we change to the MEDIUM client configuration option: MEDIUM="-stat 2000 -dcache 800 -daemons 3 -volumes 70" However the test doesn't complete correctly. All bonnie++ instances die during the test reading intelligently! Please note that only the user space program dies. AFS is still up and working. Performing the same tests on a non-smp linux box (SuSE 7.2, kernel 2.4.18) all bonnie++ tests can be run without any problems. This last statement tells me that there exists also another smp-related problem!? Regards Herbert
