This should go in an FAQ somewhere. You can set a probe interval with "fs checks -interval" but that's not quite what you want because it only sets the interval for down servers.
There is a "fs discon" command that will put you in to "nat mode," where all servers will be probed at 60 second interval. See afs_SetCheckServerNATmode() in afs/afs_daemons.c. This is not enabled in fs by default, and I'm not sure there is code in afs_pioctl to call it. The reason for this is that it's a very unfriendly thing to do to your file server, and we don't think the file server should be punished for your lack of connectivity. Of course if your afs admins are also deploying nats with short timeouts, they get what they deserve. Also be sure you have recent file servers. Some important fixes went in recently to track clients with poor (or mobile) connectivity. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
