Hi! I am getting very annoying freezes on the terminal from time to time. Today I was able to trace them back to a git branch call for my fancy bash prompt. Normally it takes 0.06s to call git branch in my $HOME on afs but sometimes it takes about 54s. Tracing git branch showed me it is always hanging at stat /afs/.git I was also able to reproduce the hangs with:
while [ 1 ]; do /usr/bin/time test -d /afs/.git/; done Playing around with the afsd options I found out that -afsdb was the root of the problem. For the moment I have removed the -afsdb option to solve the problem on my host. It also takes only 0.002s now to call git branch in my $HOME. What exactly may be the problem with -afsdb. Are my SRV records wrong or is there a problem with my name server? I am happy for any hints because removing the -afsdb option is complicated... regards Markus Köberl -- Markus Koeberl Graz University of Technology Signal Processing and Speech Communication Laboratory E-mail: [email protected]
