Oracle in update 9 has changed something with the uadmin() system call, and it _looks_ like Solaris now waits forever trying to kill all processes during shutdown for whatever reason. Since a few AFS processes are unkillable (and deliberately so), it makes the shutdown hang. The way around this is to stop the AFS client before shutdown. This is not currently safe with any 1.4 release (on Solaris), but there are patches in the 1.4 tree that make it so. But by 'not safe' I mean it may panic the machine; if you stop AFS as late as possible before reboot, it makes it less likely. Complain to Oracle, if you like. I know they have already been told about this, but the more the merrier. In the meantime, you can try to umount /afs in the init scripts for runlevel 6/5/0 (and/or SMF, etc). -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
