> What is your question? I suppose the only thing that is relevant to OpenAFS development as such is whether whatever caused this behaviour is still an issue in OpenAFS. I guess the file system should not allow files with names longer than 255 characters to be created at all, i.e. #1 in your list.
I certainly don't want or expect anybody else to be filing bug reports with IBM on our behalf, and it would, I think, be pointless now anyway as all extensions of extensions of support contracts have expired and all ex-customers of commercial AFS should be transitioning to OpenAFS (us included). Perhaps the question of whether there is anything that I can do about the immediate issue (ie removing the offending item from the volume involved) is not pertinent to any development mailing list. I haven't seen (so far) a need to be a member of the -info list, but thinking of it, of course that is a more appropriate place for the discussion of any issue related to the use of the product. Let's just skip it here, then. > 2. Does the OpenAFS file server permit files to be created that > cannot be accessed or deleted? That's interesting too - can I still continue to shoot myself in the foot after we transition? > 5. Can OpenAFS file a bug with IBM regarding this issue and provide > me with a fix? lol. Hey, I picked the wrong list, but that's all, OK? I've "been here" in AFSdom for 8 years, so I'm not a total spring chicken. -- Atro Tossavainen (Mr.) / The Institute of Biotechnology at Systems Analyst, Techno-Amish & / the University of Helsinki, Finland, +358-9-19158939 UNIX Dinosaur / employs me, but my opinions are my own. < URL : http : / / www . helsinki . fi / %7E atossava / > NO FILE ATTACHMENTS _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
