I have a file and database server both on the same machine - Debian GNU/Linux sarge/stable with all current updates, Kernel 2.6.15.6 and openafs 1.4.0-1 backported from Debian etch/unstable. To reuse the IP address of a prior AFS DB server I use "fake" - the address is inside the "official" CellServDB and I did not bother to change it there.
Two weeks ago I noticed, the salvager ran continously, after a restart of the server things went on ok. Today after a reboot, bosserver restarted the salvager again. The fileserver stopped uncleanly, salvage ran again, ... I found the following messages in FileLog: > Wed Mar 15 13:28:33 2006 File server starting > Wed Mar 15 13:28:33 2006 afs_krb_get_lrealm failed, using itp.tugraz.at. > Wed Mar 15 13:28:55 2006 VL_RegisterAddrs rpc failed; The IP address exists > on a different server; repair it > Wed Mar 15 13:28:55 2006 VL_RegisterAddrs rpc failed; See VLLog for details > Wed Mar 15 13:28:55 2006 Fatal error in library initialization, exiting!! VLLog does not provide something sensible. I made sure, no other machine in our network uses the addresses, the server wants to use. Only after I killed fake, waited for the end of the next salvage run and killed the 2nd salvage afterwards, the fileserver started working again. Did not try to restart "fake" again :) The machine has been running with this configuration for about two months now, these have been the only incedents so far.
