We are soon going to have students who will have laptops with openafs installed. In previous years we had students connect to a unix machine running samba, and that machine gave them access to the AFS cell at RPI. I'm the guy who keeps an eye on our samba server machine.
One thing I noticed is that every once-in-awhile some student gets their laptop setup so their virus-checker program is scanning all of AFS space for viruses. I can see these as a single SMB process which keeps chewing 20% of a CPU for hours and hours (for days, if I don't do something about it).
Luckily this only happens on less than 1% of the laptops, but it can still be annoying. Does anyone notice problems with this for WinXP machines which have OpenAFS installed on it? Any good way to minimize the impact, or at least rapidly notice what's happening on the file-server side?
