We're trying to deploy new workstations based on Windows 7 using OpenAFS (1.5.73) and Kerberos for Windows. I was curious how/if people are getting a working configuration for this setup. We're encountering two major problems that I was hoping someone on the list had already encountered and could help out with.
#1 - \\AFS UNC name doesn't function when making network transitions, notably when using the Cisco VPN client but it also appears to die at other random unrepeatable intervals (although this is during testing work). It appears that while on certain network configurations (e.g. wired physically to the network) the \\AFS appears to work and is bound to the AFS loopback adapter (10.254.254.254). However unplugging the network and/or opening the VPN appear to cause some sort of network state transition that kills off the mappings. I found a reference to a similar problem (<http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/2009-October/015364.html>) where Jeff said the bug is in Windows. Does anyone know if there's a workaround or hotfix since then? #2 - The Windows team is using folder redirection within profiles, but only selectively (e.g. Documents, Desktop, AppData). However something within the synchronization service seems to think that \\AFS should somehow be available offline. We keep seeing explorer.exe routinely consume 50% or more of the CPU and it appears to be continuously trying to open C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace\afs even though we don't have the filesystem marked as being available offline. Am I correct in understanding from the thread above (<http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/2009-October/015364.html>) that this is also part of the SMB bug? If there's an implementation guide for Win7 I'm missing, please point it out. Thanks. -- Jason McCormick Unix Team Lead, Systems Group, IT Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon Univ.
