Hi, please have a look at /afs/ifh.de/user/w/wiesand/public/www/SL4/openafs-1.3.79-4.SL.src.rpm http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL4/openafs-1.3.79-4.SL.src.rpm > I am currently testing on a single cpu machine. I can startup, read, write. > I cannot shutdown. It's getting stuck on the umount /afs. I'm looking into > this more. Well, my first write attempt still gets stuck. I can break the knot by attaching and then detaching the running process with gdb, and afterwards writes succeed, although about every second one with a noticeable delay. I can then even cleanly shutdown the client, again with a noticeable delay. It might well be a race condition, and the problem will show up in a slightly different manner on different hardware. SMP still looks ok. > I've been building the openafs on a CentOS x86_64 build, and found that the > openafs-SL-krb5-configure-amd64.patch isn't going in a cleanly as is needed. > It's basically getting wiped out somewhere along the way, though it LOOKS > like it's there after doing an rpmbuild -bp. I hope this is fixed in 4.SL. But I still have no RH4ish amd64 system up, so I can't test yet. > I'm a little concerned about the AUTO being on for the cache.

The default Cache size and location are spec macros now. I set them to 100000 and /var/cache/openafs for the time being.
