Hi!
...some days later...
Seems like for my last experience, I simply selected the wrong cells. Both uni-chemnitz.de and uni-mannheim.de still don't work, but all other cells I have tried, gave a result, though looking up the cell's root dir always takes *really* a lot of time (some minutes on a 1024/128 ADSL line). It seems to me as if looking up the contents of a directory that contains many different volumes takes longer than looking up the content of a directory that lies completely within one volume. Do some of you see this behaviour as well? As far as I understood, this is because there are callbacks to be sent to the client for every volume, correct? Is there any experience of you how graphical file browsers (Konqueror, Gentoo, etc.) handle /afs directories? It seems to me as if they crash quite often doing so... Thanks for your comments!
Bye Tobias
PS. From what I read and saw so far, AFS seems a really fascinating thing to me :-)
