Frequently enough to exceed the pain threshold my Mac is suffering from "ls: afs: Operation timed out" with no obvious way to get rid of it.
"afs:" here may be the directory in question, which is a mount point "p.afs.root". The volume resides on afs47, and "fs checks" says "These servers unavailable due to network or server problems: afs47.cern.ch". That's of course nonsense, and the question is.... how does it know? When I fstrace it the "fs checks" and "fs checkv" which usually work wonders on Linux whenever there is an "odd" problem, I see the Pioctls but no RPC being traced to afs47! Has afs must been disappointed by afs47 beyond the point where it would ever speak to it again? This must be special to the Mac implementation, any idea how else I could persuade it to try again at least? BTW: usually going for a coffee helps, but here I've already been waiting longer than the average coffee... bash-3.2# fstrace dump AFS Trace Dump - Date: Wed Dec 8 16:21:24 2010 Found 1 logs.
