Hey there all,
I just recently set up the Debian openafs 1.4.4 packages on an Ubuntu server box, running in a virtual machine. It's monsoon season here in Tucson and we've had a couple of long power outages and problems with the UPS. Both times the server has gone done unexpectedly, AFS didn't come back up correctly. The symptoms I note are that "ls /afs" returns empty on the server and the Windows client can't connect. For whatever reason, the thing that has fixed it both times is running "fs checkvolumes". Of course, "fs checkvolumes" segfaults when I run it, but if I reboot after that, everything comes back up fine, clients can connect, and further "fs checkvolumes" don't segfault. Rebooting before running that specific command (with the segfault) does nothing-"ls /afs" still returns empty. So. a couple of questions: How do I ensure AFS can survive a power outage/unexpected poweroff without getting borked? If it does get borked, why would a segfaulting "fs checkvolumes" fix things? Thanks much! Karl M. Davis
