Is /afs available on other AFS clients? That rules out some possibilities.
I'd go to a well-behaved client, cd /afs, fs flushv, cd /afs and see if /afs is still available on that client. I'd also be interested in vos exa root.afs vos exa root.afs.readonly to see if the root.afs and root.afs.readonly volumes are on line, though if /afs is available on other clients the output is moot. rxdebug <hostname> 7001 will give you some info about activity on the AFS client's callback port df to see if /afs still appears in the output You don't mention the debug level of your fileserver. kill -HUP <PID of fileserver> will set debug levels to 0 (default). kill -TSTP bumps one level per kill -- to levels 1, 5, 25 -- some experiments I've done (but not yet repeated) indicate some performance impact at debug level 25 but none at levels 1 or 5. Not sure if anything would show up so might try this late in the game. Create a new volume on the fileserver, mount it, make sure it's accessible. Check the afsd startup arguments and make sure that [-rootvol <name of AFS root volume>] and [-mountdir <mount location>] don't change the default root volume (root.afs) or default root directory (/afs). Unlikely but worth checking pro forma. afsmonitor -cm <hostname> -fs <hostname> -freq 5 will tell you if there's any activity on the cache manager/fs ; you're probably not interested in -fs if the fileserver is behaving orrectly. -freq 5 specifies 5 second update interval instead of the 60 sec default. Your mileage may vary. I like to see numbers change more frequently than every minute. When was the client last confirmed working correctly?
