Question to the gurus: How difficult would it be to make AFS behave when faced with loss of networking? What I'm thinking about is a mode where you get EIO (or something) for all requests concerning AFS instead of having to wait three minutes for an answer which is guaranteed not to come. This can easily be found out using some cocoa interface (forgot the name of the function). It would also be nice to be able to unmount AFS _after_ the network problems have started.On Mar 13, 2006, at 08:11am, Derrick J Brashear wrote:I don't think it's a bad idea, but I'm curious why you'd not want to start it.For two reasons. The first, afs service can or cannot be started at boot like apache or any other. The second, it's safer on laptops to choose when to start and stop afs... finder and afs with network loss don't mix :)
Ciao,

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that
would also stop you from doing clever things.
