from: http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.5.17/winxp/afs-changes-since-1.2.txt * Reduce the default UP server probe time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes to match UNIX. This will not solve the NAT port mapping timeout issue because most NATs default to a value less that 5 minutes and this value ensures that the afs client server will start probes 5 minutes after the last probe set ended. The probe period for any one server is therefore longer than 5 minutes. The more servers in the list the longer the time between probes. * Before marking a server as down in cm_Analyze, retry the request using a new rx connection to the server. If the cache manager is behind a NAT, it is possible that the response from the server is being sent to the original address:port from which the rx connection was established. This will appear to the cache manager as the server being down when in fact it is not. Forcing the use of a new rx connection will result in the server responding to the most recent address:port assigned to the client by the NAT. If the server is in fact down, it will simply take a little longer to notice it. <<CDC _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
