Okay. this explains the difference. I guess my next question should be is there a utility that actually does a quick check of the health of all file servers in your cell? Since we are so highly distributed between 4 campus, we could have file servers on one campus that become unavailable. Since AFS does such a good job at providing 'server independance', it would be nice to have something that would explain why /afs/asu.edu/somewhere/in/afs is not working.. Is there something thats part of the afs suite of utilies, or has someone already scripted it? > > -- Jeffrey T.
