Not exactly. After 1 minute, the client switches to the other servers. If a client is timing out a server it takes a little under a minute. There's no guarantee the client will be using that server, so it might take zero. Why does it take so long to switch between master servers? > > Is there a tweak to make this faster? 5seconds or less would be better. I can give you a patch to do that, if you ever use AFS in a higher latency scenario of course I wouldn't recommend it.
