Hi, We're in the process of deploying the 1.7.8 client (with IFS) to all of our workstations, some are upgrades from 1.5.x and some are new installs. We've noticed a problem with using UNC paths on both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro. This problem presents itself in slightly different ways between the two Windows version but is consistent and occurs on every single machine. Here's description of the problem...
Windows XP Pro Users are seeing delays when browsing AFS via UNC paths--that is, they browse to AFS and it will take, typically, 5 to 10 seconds before they can click on anything in a given directory or change to another directory or open a file, etc. Windows 7 Pro When right-clicking in Windows Explorer, when viewing the AFS file space via UNC, to, for example, create a new folder, there's about a 10 second delay before the menu comes up to allow selecting the option to create a folder or file. When performing both of these operations on a network drive mapped to an AFS cell, the problems are not present--everything works as expected. Might this be something with our configuration or is this possibly a bug in 1.7.8? Please let me know if I can provide any additional information and I will. Thank you, ~ Tom_______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
