We use OpenAFS over OpenVPN and have found that the afs client can be very unhappy with intermittent connections (say, from 'road warriors'). For Windows clients, this includes long timeouts and needing to restart the client service after the connection comes (back) up. I don't have any mobile mac/unix clients, but could be similar.
What sort of strange behavior are you seeing, specifically? Is the VPN a stable site-to-site thing or are you dealing with mobile users? In one of our initial setups, we had trouble with MTU sizes for UDP traffic over a bridged VPN and resulting seemingly odd behavior of afs. We fixed it by going to a routed setup. Although the links are slow, it's been pretty stable. -Chaz > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:16:25 -0500 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [OpenAFS] OpenAFS, Dreamweaver and VPN > > We are having some issues using Dreamweaver (Adobe web design tool) > with its data stored in AFS when used from off site via Cisco VPN. > We are seeing this in a Mac client but have seen similar issues on > Windows > too. > > The machines work fine when connected locally, so I am speculating that > there > is some time out issue with Dreamweaver if the network is slow, or AFS is > slow > in retrieving data over a slower then normal network. > > Has anyone seen any issues with Dreamweaver and AFS? > > -- > > Douglas E.
