If you have made your AFS server available offline, Windows is going to stop sending traffic to the AFS server once it finds a SERVER UNREACHABLE error returned by AFS. If SMB/CIFS requests are not sent to the AFS Client Service the pioctl() operations fail and you can no longer obtain or query tickets.

Hey Folks,
Sorry to hit the general mailing list, but I have been hitting a problem that has been seen before, but the bug tracker won’t let me see the resolution.
I am running Windows XP Pro (no SP2 yet), with AFS V1.3.7100, and my AFS client seems to fold up and die periodically. Attempts to get new tokens result in an “Error: 11862791 (AFS service may not have started)”. This was reported as bug 2739 in RT/grand.central.org, but I have been unable to display that ticket.
I am a long time AFS user (I even completed AFS Systems Administrator Training in 1991), and I am trying to move my desktop platform from Unix to Windows, and I was hoping that the AFS client for windows would let me continue to access the files I need on our AFS servers. Just to make life more interesting, I have selected “Make Available Offline” for many of the AFS directories I access on a regular basis.
