I have a script which regularly writes a file to our www\htdocs\rss directory. If I execute "fs flushv \\afs\usgs.gov\www\www\htdocs" our IIS servers will not pick up the changed file. If I execute "fs flushv \\afs\usgs.gov\www\www\htdocs\rss" the new file is served.
The servers are running Windows 2008 R2. The OpenAFS clients are 1.7.4 and 1.7.8 Thanks for the tip on cmdebug. While reading up on the flushv command I found out about "fs flushall". Should the results of cmdebug <hostname> -long be significantly different after running flushall? I piped the results of cmdebug to a file before and after running "fs flushall" and the output was larger after running the command which seems counter intuitive.

Sent by: [email protected] What evidence do you have that fs flushvolume fails? With what version of the software on what operating system? There is no mechanism to dump the contents of the Windows File Cache. To examine the status information stored in the AFS cache you can use: cmdebug <hostname> -long or you can dump internal data structures using "fs memdump".
