I've discovered that all the OpenAFS commands return "Invalid Argument", which leads me to suspect that somehow the syscall isn't being properly registered, but I really have no clue where to look to try to fix this. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks!

You using old binaries? No system call, magic file.

Oh. Doh. *whacks self in forehead with large book*. I had an old OpenAFS 1.2 for OS X install lying around on this drive. It's removed now and the real commands appear to work properly. I did have one more issue that forced me to restart, though. Some combination of ls in a terminal and browsing in the Finder caused a complete AFS hang (some kind of AFS deadlock?) It seemed like everything /afs related hung, so I suspect a process with the AFS_GLOCK was sleeping on something that was never going to wake up. I was browsing through /afs with -dynroot -afsdb -fakestat and the standard cell list, a couple disappeared in the Finder, I got bored with the Finder and closed that window (after turning off the option to show the number of subfolders which made opening that folder take forever and maybe hung stuff). Then I tried to ls in a terminal and that's when I noticed the hang. Is there some kind of magic quadruple-bucky-cokebottle keyboard combo or other magic I can do to try to track these down or get more info about what's hanging? This eventually even hung the reboot process (like the earlier double-afsd issue I had).

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
