Our AFS backups are a little confused right now, and removing a few large .backup volumes is a quick and easy way to sidestep the issue. This issue is due to some mistakes on our backup server, and is not a problem in OpenAFS itself. I wanted to be sure I wouldn't create any *new* problems by removing those few .backup volumes! -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [email protected] Senior Systems Programmer or [email protected] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
