its hard to say. there really isnt much to go on here. if you suspect afs is a problem use fstrace to take a peek at what afs is doing. again try changing MAX_KMALLOC_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE and see if that makes any difference. it starting to sound like a memory leak somewhere though. you might take a look at /proc/meminfo and /proc/slabinfo when the system is running normally. when it gets sick, look again. afs will run quite slow if there is a memory shortage (since it will wait for memory to become available and block all afs operations until such time) _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
