Hi, I know this topic has been discussed before, but the conclusion was that it is caused by NAT. This is impossible in my case, as openafs servers are firewalled from the outside world. The fileserver has 3 ethernet interfaces: 1: connected to the clients, two IP addresses one active (other in the NetRestrict file) 2: connected to a SAN, no IP addresses 3: connected to other cluster memebers, IP address in the NetRestrict file vos listaddrs gives nothing just the right IP address for the vol and fileserver. The FileLog is full of entries like: CB: WhoAreYou failed for host FILESERVER Besides that all the clients (1.6.0pre2 on linux, 1.5.78 and 1.6.0pre3 on windows) are working as expected. Except one (1.6.0pre2 on linux) which has two interfaces (one connected two the Fileservers network and the other in its NetRestrict file). This has entries in its syslog like this: Mar 21 07:31:36 ssh-gate kernel: [ 4879.645660] afs: WARM shutting down of: CBCELLNAME afsCELLNAME BkGCELLNAME CTruncCELLNAME AFSDBCELLNAME RxEventCELLNAME UnmaskRxkSignalsCELLNAME RxListenerCELLNAME ALL allocated tablesCELLNAME done Mar 21 07:31:36 HOSTNAME kernel: [ 4880.229317] enabling dynamically allocated vcaches Mar 21 07:31:36 HOSTNAME kernel: [ 4880.229321] Starting AFS cache scanCELLNAMEfound 70 non-empty cache files (2%).

Thanks for any idea! Cheers Geza _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
