On servers with just a few installed RPMs everything works fine. On systems with a full paket installation we can't read any files in afs, which are bigger than some kbytes. On x86_64 systems we have no problems.


ouch. I can reproduce this on my test VM. Reading processes just hang in D+ state, but are interruptible, right?

I rebuilt the module against 2.6.32-279.1.1, and that build works for me. Could you please try 

http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL6/i686/kmod-openafs-1.6.1-112.sl6.279.1.1.i686.rpm ?

Installing this will probably cause the same problem with older kernels you still have installed. If you want to keep both functional, rm /lib/modules/.../weak-updates/openafs/openafs.ko , extract the new module with rpm2cpio|cpio -iv, copy it to an appropritae place (say /lib/modules/.../kernel/fs), and run depmod -a 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6 . Then cross fingers and reboot.

Best regards,
	Stephan
