Greetings,
We run several openafs servers at NCSU on Solaris 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
By default, the servers restart every Sunday morning at 4:00am. This was not a problem until we asked another group to take over our backups. They are saying that the server restarts are causing problems with the backups because of the schedule.
My boss mentioned that the restart feature was added in transarc 3.2. We are running openAFS 1.4.11.
Is the restart still needed? If we don't have a restart will we see memory leaks? Do other organizations have experience with turning the restart off? Did it hurt anything having it turned off? Anyone doing longer restarts by using crons to kick off the restarts like once per month instead of once per week in the BosConfig file? Would doing that be a bad idea?
