Hi, When users log in at 11 they get access denied when they try to open the home directory. If you log in twenty minutes later you will not have this issue and if you log in before eleven you will also not notice anything.
The logs mention that a certain volume is unavailable prior to this issue: "Server 77.238.35.9 reported volume 536870955 in cell su.se as offline" That's it. Commands like fs checkv and fs checkservers while the error is in progress does not show anything out of the ordinary. Now here's the funny thing: that specific volume is released every five minutes and is available as read only on four different servers and one read/write on one server. The error in the log is consistent down to the second with such a release. So why does this only happen once a day? We have seen this only on the computers where our students access them, but that's not too surprising considering they log in and out extensively during the day and as such have a higher probability to be subject to the error. I've seen other clients where this happens at a different time, but it is also only once a day and also always preceded by the volume in cell su.se as offline. The machines run Windows 7 SP1 and have OpenAFS 1.7.400 installed. On the serverside we have 1.4. This error was discovered roughly two weeks ago, but we can't find anything we tampered with that relates to this at that time. Any ideas?
