This is the -sync runtime option, which will be in the release after 1.6.2 (it is present in the 1.6.3pre* releases). To get the behavior that Robert describes here, give '-sync none' or '-sync onclose'. Or technically, '-sync always' will also get rid of the sync thread, but will probably give you noticeably worse performance, not better. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
