Hi!
Yet another user has been affected by the file/cache corruption problem
on the Sparc5's. I've been told that this is an AFS cache problem, but others
say it isn't. Could someone explain the problem in detail to us consultants
so we can better help users avoid the problem? Also, I wrote about this
problem long ago and suggested that there be some sort of warning posted, as
users could potentially lose important work. Ideally, of course, the problem
could be fixed.
Please send the reply to cfyi@mit.edu.
Thanks!
Michael Duff, OLC consultant
