Since installing afs, which left me with about 33 MB on my internal
drive (I still have 140 MB left on the external drive), I have
noticed that over the course of 3 or 4 weeks, hard disk space get
eaten up and my internal drive drops to 20 MB and starts to slow
down. I have to reboot to get the 13 MB back. Before I installed
afs, the machine never had problems with wide swings of disk
space---it housecleaned regularly and never buit up more than a 5 MB
drop over a few weeks before housecleaning. Has afs interefered with
the usual housecleaning activities?
The only tampering I have done with /usr/adm/daily is to edit out
the line:
find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs
-prune
which cleans out the old .nfs files. I have no nfs files mounted on
the machine, yet this command was searching down the afs paths.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Ed
