The OpenAFS for Windows stress tests are specific to the Windows API and
are targetted at stress testing via the SMB/CIFS interface used by the

Hi again,
I'm very pleased to inform all of you that I alredy have a running AFS client! :-)
But of course with a problem - when I enter the directory where the AFS

The fsck reported an inode problem during reboot after the system hung.
Interestingly the system responds to pings but am unable to ssh into it from
another box.
The hang is not immediate.
