Folks,
I've been having a serious bug running AFS under AIX 3.1 on the RS/6000
workstation.
Basically, the scenario is as follows:
I'm running with different windows and applications, on both my local
workstation and
on remote hosts. All of a sudden, if I'm typing into an application on
a remote host, I
notice that the keyboard input has stopped echoing back to me. If I try
to expose a
partially hidden window running on a remote machine, it pops to the top
of the window
stack, but the previously covered portion does not redraw itself.
Within a minute or so,
I receive a message on my console xterm that one or more of the AFS file
servers have
gone down; however, I'm the only one in my group of workstations to see
this! (In fact,
they're not down at all at the time.)
If I wait a few minutes, the remote applications eventually disconnect
and disappear, and
I'm running back to normal again, except that I have to reconnect to all
those remote clients.
The "fs" command once again indicates that all file servers are running.
This bug renders AFS on the machine virtually unusable. Running
"etherfind" on another work-
station shows that an AFS file server is continuously attempting to send
me UDP packets that
my workstation is not replying to.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
