Is there a way to decrease the timeout allowance? I would've expected closer to 50 seconds, but it's possible some other operation started trying to contact the server before that. The default 'dead' timeout (meaning, we get no response from the other end of any kind) is 50 seconds. You can sort of change this on Linux by altering the afs.rx_deadtime sysctl, but I'm not sure how often that's used / how well it is honored (you might need to set that before afsd starts). In addition, we may be able to detect downed peers more quickly if we processed ip errors from the Linux kernel. But we don't do that currently. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
