That's probably just because we call syscall(), based on what I see running it myself, which really doesn't have anything to do with this (but it is a separate argument we've had with Oracle). > We need Sun's reboot to make an exception in AFSes case and stop > waiting indefinitely for afsd to go down. You could ask them if there is any way we can mark them somehow to make such a thing possible, without actually changing how the processes start, which would make it easier to get this working. I don't expect them to actually do anything to accomodate us, but it's one possible way. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
