Hi Ken -

I normally work with the IBM Transarc AFS client and I know
that there have been some changes in the client code with
OpenAFS, but I do have some questions for you.

 - Is it possible that your appliactions running on this
   machine could have 4000 or more files open ?

   You may need to check your application to make sure it is
   properly closing files if it happens to open lots of
   them.

 - You might consider increasing the -stat afsd parameter
   about the 4000 value that you are problably using.

 - AFS will not re-cycle a vcache(stat) struct if it is currently
   opened on the client.

So one suggestion - if you have not tried it yet, would be to
increase -stat to 5000 and see what happens at this point.

I have not read the entire history of this call, so maybe you
already tried this.

Thanks

Todd

The servername if you run it on the client with trouble is "localhost" :)

Right, that's expected. No more files means....
