In the interests of solving the _real_ problem ... I am wondering if any of the following things would help: - Using -fakestat or -fakestat-all as an option to afsd - Using -dynroot, and distributing an empty CellServDB and using -afsdb to look up cell info. This prevents you from having a bazillion foreign cells in /afs, which in my experience really makes the finder unhappy (although -fakestat and -fakestat-all help in this regard). - Make your afs root volume have a small number of AFS cells. I did run into a problem where the OS X client would never completely time out ... although that was with one of the older RC releases, and I never got a chance to completely track it down and submit a bug report. --Ken _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
