Hi,

we recently migrated our AFS setup to version 1.4.2. Since then, we have spurious problems on our linux clients (the windows clients are running fine). Specifically, after some time, users only see strange permissions (usually just a row of question marks instead of the normal output in ls -l), can't access files or directories they should normally do etc. Sometimes, it heals itself, usually, users have to log in and log out. Syslog has entries like:

Feb 2 12:56:46 brummer kernel: afs_NewVCache: warning none freed, using 3000 of 3000
Feb  2 12:56:46 brummer kernel: afs_NewVCache - none freed

that appear exactly when the problems begin, which looks like we are running into some cache manager problem. The user has valid tickets and tokens for our current realm and AFS cell, and can also always acquire them.

We are using linux kernel 2.6.19 from Fedora Core 6, together with OpenAFS 1.4.2 on the clients. The OpenAFS server that houses the affected volumes is running an older 1.2.11 release, our replication server already has been migrated to 1.4.2.

So, is this an interoperability problem, or some problem with the linux clients software versions, or jsut plain misconfiguration on the client side?

TIA

JM
