It seems that AFS can be made to crash pretty much at will with fairly simple exercises.
Being a file system, one would expect rock solid performance…Not the case.
A simple cp -rpv /afs/.bigcell/foo /afs/.home-ted-doris.fam/bar hangs the system so badly Linux won't even "halt".
If there's a problem with windows file names, (Jeff has stated so) it needs to be documented. And fixed.
Those interested in stress testing (or even regression testing) AFS contact me directly.
There needs to be a set of tests run on every release before its thrown over the threshold.
No flames please.
