Hi,
Just thought I would ping this report, to see if anyone else has any
other ideas ?
I need to run the 64bit kernel, as have updated my MacBook Pro to 8GB
ram, and I need to run the 64 bit kernel to properly support this. AFS
is so slow it is effectively unusable in this case. I can live without
AFS but it would be very nice to get it usefully working again.
Would this be an appropriate thing to ask on the devel list ?
cheers Chris

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

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. Accessing afs directories (under
/afs/cern.ch, if that matters) seem to just hang up, without ever accessing the
AFS file system. The same operations using the 32 bit kernel do not show these
same hang ups. I have searched the Console messages, but not spotted anything
(to my uneducated eye) that relate to afs.
I understand that the OS X 64 bit kernel is currently not the default on
desktop systems, so I was just wondering what the status was, and if there
where any known issues with this kernel and openafs ?
If I haven't provided enough details, please just ask.
one bug was fixed since then, at least from memory. try 1.6.0pre1?
