Public bug reported:
This issue affects OpenAFS 1.6 series releases prior to 1.6.1pre3. It was
reported upstream as, e.g.,
https://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=130361
and addressed in a series of patches, the most recent of which appears to be
http://git.openafs.org/?p=openafs.git;a=commit;h=fcdd20e389282607616b23f912a22ff5c352ce70
The relevant keyphrase in patch titles is "nat ping" (case insensitive).
Both 1.6.0~pre1 (oneiric) and 1.6.1~pre1 (currently in precise) are
affected. The final 1.6.1 release, now in Debian unstable, contains the
relevant fixes.
Clients affected by this issue can cause a significant, unnecessary
additional load on fileservers under some circumstances. It would
therefore be very desirable to have this bug fixed in stable releases of
Ubuntu.
