Hi Stephan,

in the mean while we builded the kmod-openafs rpm against the kernel 
2.6.32-279.2.1.el6 and now we've no problems anymore. We're testing it 
now for while.

Best regards,  Thomas

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.

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.
