True. > fairly diverse range of Linux distributions. What file system type(s) do you use for AFS caches? I use ext2 or ext3. Because the cache does not contain anything that _must_ survive a reboot (unless you use the experimental disconnected features in 1.5.x), I suggest ext2 for speed. I had really bad experiences with reiserfs. Does the corruption occur if you use memcache, too? > I'm new to AFS - and am more accustomed to NFS; so I'm not sure if I'm just > doing something that AFS doesn't handle well, or if AFS varies that much from > client to client. If it is of some consolidation for you or not I don't know, but I've run 1.4.8preX on 2000 Linux clients for some time and have upgraded to distro 1.4.8 yesterday. So if there is something basic wrong with 1.4.8 I will definitely notice (gulp). > I want to give it a chance, but getting corrupted files > when a client writes to disk tends to put a damper on the whole experience.
