Thanks, I'll do that.

Derrick already replied to you and he is one of the gatekeepers and
primary developers for MacOS X.  What you can do is file a bug report at
[email protected] so this issue does not get lost.  I suspect
what someone is going to have to do is replicate your environment and
attempt to reproduce the issue.

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?
