Hi Cheyenne, Thanks so much for tracking down the problem! I was about to request CONFIG_WERROR be turned off on elrepo kernels, but then I found this article stating that CONFIG_WERROR=y at least as of 5.18 was the default: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.18-x86-WERROR Possibly

2020-09-03 Thread Chad William Seys
Hello all, It seems that OpenAFS 1.8.x uses more slab (or doesn't free it as quickly) than 1.6.20 . The machine in question uses AFS heavily. it is used to backup our AFS area. It scans through files constantly and in more than directory and in two domains at a time. I recently

Hi Mark, > Ahh. But what about 1.6.16? Sorry, in my table under "working" I had listed confusingly listed 1.6.16 with "no debian package". This was a remnant from when I was testing Scientific Linux and was tracking the two distro's versions together. I haven't tested 1.6.16 in Debian.

Hi all, Thanks to your help, I reverted to a previous version of the Debian kernel and was able to successfully git clone the troublesome repository. A working version of the Jessie kernel is: Linux mcd-db 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u5 (2015-10-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux >

Hi Ben, The Scientific Linux clients are using patched (by Redhat) 2.6.32 and the Debian clients are using patched (by Debian) 3.2.78 and 3.16.7 . Do you suspect that a recent security patch, applied to all three kernels, could have broken the older AFS clients? I could certainly test this

Hi Jonathan, Well it is good to hear that someone else is having a similar problem! When I mentioned this #openafs on Freenode, Benjamin Kaduk seemed to think this problem exists in the client/cache manager. So a bug in client/cache manager? Why would it be triggered now? It seems as though
