I've had a problem with the new DA file server. It lost an entire directory and the file server crashed. The symptom that something was going bad was
% touch 176 touch: cannot create 176: File too large pabst.cs 297 % fs lq . Volume Name Quota Used %Used Partition fa11.cs732 100000 64776 65% 1% This happened before, the directory was impossible to use. (That is, one could not create any files in it.) I created a new directory and abandoned the old directory, but then a few weeks later, the problem reocurred. In both cases, the FileLog has entries such as: Wed Oct 5 16:08:38 2011 ReallyRead(): read failed device 0 inode 7069583278211 errno 5 But this time, when I tried to rename (mv) the directory which had the problem, the fileserver crashed: Fatal Rx error: assertion failed: Create(&filedir, "..", NewDirFid) == 0, file: ../viced/afsfileprocs.c, line: 4215 When it came back up, the directory where files could not be created was empty. (But the directory in the backup volume still had all the files, fortunately.) The /vicep* partitions are ext4. Maybe that's the problem? I know 1.6.0rc2 is old, but it's the latest version available with the Scientific Linux 6 "yum update". If it's a known bug, I'll just have to wait. (Or if "yum update openafs-server" isn't the command I'm supposed to use, let me know.)
