The thing that's interesting is that the messages we've seen are always the same pattern:

Sat Jan 21 14:24:56 2006 FindClient: client X(Y) already
had conn 12bbb28 (host 894ea06a), stolen by client X(Y)

This looks like the same client/SID is stealing from itself??

For the 2 hosts almost always identified (host xyz) we're seeing intermittent data access failures that we're trying to sort out.

We've seen a couple of hundred of these messages for each of the clients over a period of < 1 day.

Any reason for concern? It looks like one client structure is clobbered/reassigned, and I've been assuming that this is so fast that the AFS client doesn't notice.

it means there's a race and 2 "client structures" end up existing for a client. it's not good, but unless you see a problem you should be able to ignore it.

The problem you'd see would be continuous VBUSY to a client.

Howvever, I am getting complaints from these same clients regarding slow afs access.

What is the meaning of these messages?
