We are running a Citrix farm using AFS as the main storage for the users.  We 
have been experiencing some stability issues with the client.  I am looking for 
anyone that is using terminal server or Citrix in a high volume situation.  
Here are the symptoms that we are experiencing:

1.  No one can get to the S drive, even after a log out and relaunch of an app. 
 In this case, we've found that the Service is running, but is completely 
non-responsive.  AFS space is at this point, completely unusable, and a service 
restart works only 10-20% of the time.

2.  The client seems to stop responding while folks are on the server.  Those 
that attached before the failure seem to be ok.  Anyone new coming on a server 
is without an S: drive.  75-90% of the time, a service restart fixes the issue.

3.  One or two people on a server are unable to get to their S: drive.  All 
existing with an S: drive and most to all new sessions get the S: drive.  This 
appears to be caused by the client not initializing correctly within the 
session startup, and is resolved nearly 100% of the time with a logout and 
relaunch of the app.

The S: drive is the AFS mounted volume.

Thanks for any feedback or information.
