thank you..  : ) but, i have further questions. if you could tell me
more, it will be appreciated.

there should be the reason afs programmers let server restart at
sunday 4am by default. if i turn it off, will server become more
unstable? i found previous threads at
http://www.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2001-September/001978.html.


That is from 2001, which was over 7 years ago and a different openafs version. The 1.4.x series seems to have much better stability than the 1.2.x and older versions (the mentioned 3.4a version is from Transarc/IBM and predates openafs.)

do you suggest to turn off auto restart? thanks..

someone else should answer. i leave it on. in 1.4.8 rx doesn't leak
like it did in prior versions so even the people who might have needed
to before probably don't now.

I have it turned off and have not had problems:

% bos getrestart localhost
Server localhost restarts never
Server localhost restarts for new binaries never
% uptime
up 611 days

This is with openafs 1.4.2 and stability likely improved in newer openafs versions.

At a minimum though, you should set each of your different AFS servers to restart at a different time. You do not want them all to restart at once and have your cell go down.
