Hi. We've thought of two more pieces of information we could use
about this problem in addition to the truss output:
* If you know how to use vi, we'd like to know whether saving
the file in vi also takes a while. This will help tell us
whether it's a filesystem problem or an emacs problem.
(If you don't know vi, the twenty-second intro is: navigate
with the hjkl keys to go left, down, up, right. Use 'i' to
go into insert mode where you can type text, and ESC to
exit. 'x' deletes a character. ":w" writes out the file.)
* If you know how to use tcpdump, we'd like to see what's
going on on the network between the client machine and your
AFS server when the delay happens. Basically, in some xterm
you su to root ("tellme root" to get the password) and run:
/afs/sipb/project/tcpdump/tcpdump -vv -s1500 host A and host B
substituting the workstation name for A and your server name
for B. To get the server name, run "fs whereis ." in your
homedir. Right now it's sappho, but that could change.
Thanks.
