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)
That's what recent versions of GNU ls do when they can't stat a file, for example because you have no access.
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
This means there are no free vcache entries. Either there is a leak, or you have more than 3000 AFS files in use. Try giving afsd a larger value for the -stat switch.
We are using linux kernel 2.6.19 from Fedora Core 6, together with OpenAFS 1.4.2 on the clients.
You got 1.4.2 to build against 2.6.19? That's a neat trick. For 2.6.19 you should need at least 1.4.3rc1 (and you really want rc2, which fixes some build issues and a nasty problem with clients crashing when a vlserver is down, but that's not out yet).
