The AFS 3.0 series (before OpenAFS had giant memory leaks, and if you didn't restart the servers every month or so the fileservers would stop working after about 90 days. That was a long, long time ago and such leaks have long since been fixed. Some people continue to do restarts to do other maintenance (ie. regular salvages) but that's not generally needed anymore. Unless you're doing something very strange and unstable with your servers, you can turn the restarts off. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
