Hi, It doesn't seem to help. navigating around in afs is just a lot lot slower and less responsive when in the 64 bit kernel, compared to the same operations when running the 32 bit kernel. Eventually they do work, they just take a long long time.
One thing in particular that seems to show the problem is just repeatedly running 'ls' in the same AFS directory. With the 32 bit kernel the first time I run this (after a reboot) might take a short while to complete (presumably whilst the cache is being refreshed) but subsequent runs are essentially instantaneous. With the 64 bit kernel this is not the case. Each time I run ls in the same dir, it takes the same long time (order minutes) to complete. cheers Chris > On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 4:52 PM, Chris Jones > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am running the 1.5.78 feature release of openafs on OS X 10.6.X (currently >> 10.6.6). >> >> When running with the default 32 bit kernel, all seems to work fine. >> However, if I switch to the 64 bit kernel (which I would like to do for >> other reasons) openafs seems to experience problems.
