The fact that Explorer is triggering this search when the "AFS" name is registered with the Multiple UNC Provider is a bug in Windows. It doesn't happen in all environments and I don't have a workaround. Someone with a support contract with Microsoft and a willingness to pay the root cause investigation expenses is welcome to open a support incident with them.

[OpenAFS] 1.7.8 UNC path issues
Hi, We're in the process of deploying the 1.7.8 client (with IFS) to all of our workstations, some are upgrades from 1.5.x and some are new installs. We've noticed a problem with using UNC paths on both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro. This problem presents itself in slightly different ways between the two Windows version but is consistent and occurs on every single machine. Here's description of the problem... Windows XP Pro Users are seeing delays when browsing AFS via UNC paths--that is, they browse to AFS and it will take, typically, 5 to 10 seconds before they can click on anything in a given directory or change to another directory or open a file, etc. Windows 7 Pro When right-clicking in Windows Explorer, when viewing the AFS file space via UNC, to, for example, create a new folder, there's about a 10 second delay before the menu comes up to allow selecting the option to create a folder or file. When performing both of these operations on a network drive mapped to an AFS cell, the problems are not present--everything works as expected. Might this be something with our configuration or is this possibly a bug in 1.7.8? Please let me know if I can provide any additional information and I will. Thank you, ~ Tom___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

I think I've spotted a small error. The AFS keyfile is named "afs.keyfile" in your text, but on my (Debian) server it's named "Keyfile". Is this one of these anoying little Ubuntu/Debian differences or really a mistake in the text? Oh, and I think the afs3 enctype is not needed anymore nowadays, or am I wrong here? Otherwise great description! Bye... Dirk ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
