Hi all,
We have been having a strange issue with one of our AFS servers lately, and I hope that someone on this list might have some helpful input on the situation.
We have a cell with three older AFS servers (1.2.11). They have been running great for quite some time. However, twice in the past two weeks the Volserver has stopped responding on one of the servers. When this happens, if I do a 'bos status' on the server, it tells me that everything is running normally. But, I know from trying to do a 'vos listvol' on the server, that things are not normal, because it times out. Both times this has happened, the server that the volserver died on was the sync site for the cell.
Also of note, we have quite a few volumes that are replicated. When the volserver died on the sync site, the read-only replicas were no longer accessible. If a read-only replica is unavailable on one server, shouldn't the client know to try one of the others? I thought this was the whole point of replication.
This is truly a perplexing issue to me, so I appreciate your input both in determing the problem with my replication and with determing why the volserver keeps dying.
Thanks,
-- Josh
